Dear All,
Can we develop application which will watch a specific folder and when
any files comes into the folder then some action takes place in Perl.
Similar to an windows service. Is it possible in Perl.
Regards,
Ganesh

There are several libraries for this. For Windows have a look at
Win32::ChangeNotify and Win32::IPC.
