I want to create an application that watches over a specific directory. When a file is
deposited in this directory, the application beings a very lengthy processing of this
file. When completed, this input file is moved to another directory called Done to
signal succesful completion.
Since the processing of this input file is quite lengthy, implementing a
multi-threading solution would be ideal but as you all know, it is not yet implemented
with Perl. The applicaiton is an NT Service and the processing logic was made into a
another Perl script. What I did was within my NT Service, I use the System function
to kick off a DOS START command to start this process.
I think this is ugly but I wanted to know if anyone had any better suggestions.
Certainly I would like to keep track of my process via some kind of PID.
Thanks
