Re: Re: how to permanently monitor a directory

[LanceDeeply]

This:

my $items_in_dir = @Dircontent;
if ($items_in_dir > 2) ..

won't work if some smart alec decides to create a subdir in your drop area. try using -f

TISMTOWTDI:

use strict;
use warnings;

sub scandir
{
    my $dir = shift;
    my $fileProcessor = shift;

    opendir (DIR, $dir) or die "Cannot open $dir: $!\n";
    for (readdir DIR)
    {
        if ( -f )
        {
            &$fileProcessor($_);
        }
    }
    close DIR;
}


sub do_something
{
    my $filename = shift;
    print "got file: $filename\n";
}

sub do_something_else
{
    my $filename = shift;
    print "got another file: $filename\n";
}


scandir('.',\&do_something);
scandir('.',\&do_something_else);
