I have a script that runs as a service, and relies on Win32::ChangeNotify.
However, the second time through my master while loop the creation of the
Win32::ChangeNotify object fails and doesn't set "$!". I've tried calling
reset(), close() & undef'ing my notify object but it doesn't seem to help.
<..snip... - lies inside of a larger infinite while loop..>
my $notify = Win32::ChangeNotify->new($INDIR, 0, 'FILE_NAME') or die "Can't
create ChangeNotify object: $!";
my $status;
while (1)
{
$status = $notify->wait or warn "Something changed: $!";
if ($status == 1)
{
# Don't proceed until the $INDIR is empty
my $files_exist = 0;
my @files = <$INDIR/*>;
foreach my $file (@files)
{
if (!(-d $file)) { # Only look for files
$files_exist = 1;
$notify->reset;
last;
}
}
if (!$files_exist) { last; }
}
else { die "A wait error occured: $!"; }
}
$notify->reset;
$notify->close;
#undef $notify;
