I attempted to install SGI:FAM using the CPAN module. It failed with fatel errors. It also fails when I try to compile it manualy. Im using RedHat 8.0 with the FAM deamon already installed by default.

Is SGI::FAM from CPAN inteaded to be installed on Linux or just IRIX?

yepp, 
FAM is the thing i mean - wow, you found it very quick.

i had build up a tk app  for windows saving files in archives automaticly .... 
if you want i can send to the list, BUT: it is very quick hacked and some 
tiny parts are unfinished ( preview files ) and still not bug-fixes ( dates 
shown wrong .. not testet in work-day-solution ) and my fary hadn't write a 
gelpfile yet.
The main-theme was to save files (updates of skripts, documents...) in a 
full archive for backuping ( on a mirror fs ) and to have a tiny version-
tracker

maybe someone can use it - and/or make some things better.. 

hm, is it possible to upload a huge zip to the list, ??? -- or i put it on my 
web server the next days, if you like.

I belive I have solved this. I can use the WIN32::ChangeNotify on Windows and SGI::FAM on Linux. 
I haven't tested FAM yet but It sounds good. It even does NFS mounted file systems. It would be 
nice to have a module that could use either interface transparently depending on your OS.

    on windows i use the changenotification() from the win api module,
        
    
    perldoc Win32::ChangeNotify
    
      
    on
    unix ( and linux ) there is a prog ( i don't know exactly  how it
    called ) with 3 letters ??? anyone knows it ? it prits out changes on
    dirs like changenotification and is very good to your system
    performance.
        
    
    sorry I'm not a Unix person.
    
    And then you could create a module that would hide the system 
    dependent differences and provide you with a unified interface.
