in thread File::Monitor problem with batch files

Actually, I looked at the module and the package name is

package Win32::ReadDirectoryChanges;

The bareword errors were probably because of the incorrect package name. Change the name of the module you copied and pasted to Win32::ReadDirectoryChanges (without the W).

Try to change the code to:

use strict; use warnings; use File::Copy::Recursive qw(fcopy rcopy dircopy fmove rmove dirmove); use Win32::ReadDirectoryChanges; my $path = 'c:\\PAPER'; my $subtree = 1; my $filter = FILE_ACTION_ADDED | FILE_ACTION_MODIFIED; my $rdc = Win32::ReadDirectoryChanges->new(path => $path, subtree => 1, filter => $filter); my @results = $rdc->read_changes; while (scalar @results) { my ($action, $filename) = splice(@results, 0, 2); if ($action == FILE_ACTION_ADDED || $action == FILE_ACTION_MODIFIED +) { # perform your backup here fcopy ("$filename","p:\\phdpaper"); } }
