I have now expanded on my needs and am looking for the following:

A perl script/prog which can monitor many folders on a local mchine (each folder representing a different site). THe perl script will be executed on a timly basis. If a new or modified file is found, the file will then be FTP'd to its relevant hosting machine.

All platforms are microsoft with IIS.

Can anybody recommend or tell me the best solution. Or is anybody already using a perl based solution such as this already? NOte that multiple site flows must be maintained.

thanks costas

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
