Once upon a time SGI::FAM did work on linux, I have seen it. And fam does still run and is used at least by the gnome project. Having said that I have seen this error before, and never did solve the problem on Solaris or the Linux box I saw it on. I have not tried fedora, but aren't really surprised. I am wondering if this is just a backwards compatibility breakage wrt newer versions of fam. If I ever get to that promise land of having enough time to look at such things I was hoping to figure out what the deal was as fam is a pretty cool thing and having an interface to it would be nice. > > Everything went ok (at least I did not see any error messages).

You should check the archives for my previous posts on the SGI::FAM module (I would suggest using google's groups search). The actual file watching I didn't try to implement, but the drop box functionality was fairly easy to develop.... http://danconia.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
