NAME
       File::ChangeNotify - Watch for changes to files, cross-platform style


VERSION
       version 0.24


SYNOPSIS
           use File::ChangeNotify;

           my $watcher =
               File::ChangeNotify->instantiate_watcher
                   ( directories => [ '/my/path', '/my/other' ],
                     filter      => qr/\.(?:pm|conf|yml)$/,
                   );

           if ( my @events = $watcher->new_events() ) { ... }

           # blocking
           while ( my @events = $watcher->wait_for_events() ) { ... }


DESCRIPTION
       This module provides an API for creating a File::ChangeNotify::Watcher subclass that will work on your
       platform.

       Most of the documentation for this distro is in File::ChangeNotify::Watcher.


METHODS
       This class provides the following methods:

   File::ChangeNotify->instantiate_watcher(...)
       This method looks at each available subclass of File::ChangeNotify::Watcher and instantiates the first
       one it can load, using the arguments you provided.

       It always tries to use the File::ChangeNotify::Watcher::Default class last, on the assumption that any
       other class that is available is a better option.

   File::ChangeNotify->usable_classes()
       Returns a list of all the loadable File::ChangeNotify::Watcher subclasses.


BUGS
       Please report any bugs or feature requests to "bug-file-changenotify@rt.cpan.org", or through the web
       interface at <http://rt.cpan.org>.  I will be notified, and then you'll automatically be notified of
       progress on your bug as I make changes.


DONATIONS
       If you'd like to thank me for the work I've done on this module, please consider making a "donation" to
       me via PayPal. I spend a lot of free time creating free software, and would appreciate any support you'd
       care to offer.

       Please note that I am not suggesting that you must do this in order for me to continue working on this
       particular software. I will continue to do so, inasmuch as I have in the past, for as long as it
       interests me.

       Similarly, a donation made in this way will probably not make me work on this software much more, unless
       I get so many donations that I can consider working on free software full time, which seems unlikely at
       best.

       To donate, log into PayPal and send money to autarch@urth.org or use the button on this page:
