Hi Monks;
The following code works well for single file, what i want it to do is monitor the mtime of a file, if it has been modified, copy it to a new directory immediately as an automatic backup procedure.
use strict;
use warnings;
use File::Monitor;
use File::Monitor::Object;
use File::Copy::Recursive qw(fcopy rcopy dircopy fmove rmove dirmove);
my $wFile="1.doc";
my $wFileMonitor = File::Monitor->new();
$wFileMonitor->watch($wFile);
$wFileMonitor->scan;
while (1){
my @changes = $wFileMonitor->scan;
foreach my $object (@changes) {
my $modified = $object->mtime;
print "$wFile changed\n";
fcopy ("$wFile","c:\\newpath"); # automatic backup if the file h
+as been modified
}
}
But i have many files for which to be monitored, i want to give it a file list or array like the following codes:
use strict;
use warnings;
use File::Monitor;
use File::Monitor::Object;
use File::Copy::Recursive qw(fcopy rcopy dircopy fmove rmove dirmove);
my @Files=("1.doc","2.doc","3.xls");
my $wFileMonitor = File::Monitor->new();
foreach my $wFile (@Files){
$wFileMonitor->watch($wFile);
#-- First scan does nothing
$wFileMonitor->scan;
while (1){
my @changes = $wFileMonitor->scan;
foreach my $object (@changes) {
my $modified = $object->mtime;
print "$wFile changed\n";
fcopy ("$wFile","c:\\newpath");
}
}
}
What the codes output is just monitor the first file in the file array or list, when i did some modifies to the other file in the list there was no monitor response. But i want they were monitored simultaneously.
Can you give me some advices!
Any help will be appreciated!

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).
