Folks, Not too long ago I started to use POE-Component-DirWatch-0.02 for some testing purposes. Now that I want to test on another system, this module is nowhere to be found on the CPAN. Instead, there's the POE::Component::DirWatch::Object which needs this Moose module. By the description of this Moose, it sounds like an awful lot to install just to get a dir watcher. I mean, the Perl 6 object-oriented approach and all that.
Fortunately I found the original 0.02 archive so I can install it on other systems. So my question is, was the original DirWatch deadly flawed or what, to remove it from the CPAN. As for me I did not see it crash or do system damages. Was I simply lucky ? If it ran fine, why not leave it on the CPAN ? Cheers, Al
