Using Trigger Filesby azatoth (Curate) |

azatoth has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hello. I am currently in the process of writing a tiny script to ftp files over to an NT box from one of our unix servers. This is fine. I can cron this and have it check for files whenever. But what I would really like to do is put some sort of loop in the script, that checks say, every 10 minutes, for new files. I can tell it what exact file to look for, but need some kind of "Trigger" functionality to kick off the script...Anyone have any ideas / follow me at all?
