Although it comes with the C distribution, it can be used independently. The constructor defines the file to be watched and the check interval in seconds. Subsequent calls to C will =over 4 =item * return a false value immediately without doing physical file checks if C hasn't elapsed. =item * perform a physical test on the specified file if the number of seconds specified in C have elapsed since the last physical check. If the file's modification date has changed since the last physical check, it will return a true value, otherwise a false value is returned. =back Bottom line: C allows you to call the function C as often as you like, without paying the performing a significant performance penalty because file system operations are being performed (however, you pay the price of not knowing about file changes until C seconds have elapsed). The module clearly distinguishes system time from file system time. If your (e.g. NFS mounted) file system is off by a constant amount of time compared to the executing computer's clock, it'll just work fine. To disable the resource-saving delay feature, just set C to 0 and C will run a physical file test on every call. If you already have the current time available, you can pass it on to C as an optional parameter, like in change_detected($time) which then won't trigger a call to C, but use the value provided. =head2 SIGNAL MODE Instead of polling time and file changes, C can be instructed to set up a signal handler. If you call the constructor like my $watcher = Log::Log4perl::Config::Watch->new( file => "/data/my.conf", signal => 'HUP' ); then a signal handler will be installed, setting the object's variable C<$self-E{signal_caught}> to a true value when the signal arrives. Comes with all the problems that signal handlers go along with. =head2 TRIGGER CHECKS To trigger a physical file check on the next call to C regardless if C has expired or not, call $watcher->force_next_check(); on the watcher object. =head2 DETECT MOVED FILES The watcher can also be used to detect files that have moved. It will not only detect if a watched file has disappeared, but also if it has been replaced by a new file in the meantime. my $watcher = Log::Log4perl::Config::Watch->new( file => "/data/my.conf", check_interval => 30, ); while(1) { if($watcher->file_has_moved()) { print "File has moved!\n"; } sleep(1); } The parameters C and C limit the number of physical file system checks, similarily as with C. =head1 LICENSE Copyright 2002-2013 by Mike Schilli Em@perlmeister.comE and Kevin Goess Ecpan@goess.orgE.
