in reply to file size monitoring

If you know the directory, then do I understand right that this is just a matter of checking if any file (possibly with some filename filtering specifications) is growing beyond the 1 MB limit?

How often do you need to check

The File::Find module is an option, but for such an easy task (no need to walk through subdirectories, I understand), you might as well write a procedure reading the directory and finding files matching your conditions.

Ah, yes, as a final question, have you tried something?

Otherwise, I do not know any thing about the "HP OVO product", if this is important to your question, I may be off-topic.
