I have successfully used Win32::AdvNotify with ActiveState 5.6 compiled to an executable with perl2exe and run as an NT scheduled task on Win2K & NT4 to watch directories and upload new files to an FTP server. It works OK for the frequency of changes I have: i.e. 1 rename operation every 5 seconds. If using perl2exe there is an edit required to site/lib/AdvNotify.pm. I have also noted a memory leak in AdvNotify - I tend to work around it with a restart of my app every 24hrs. I have not been able to get AdvNotify to work within a service hence the scheduled task. I'd be happy to post the code. I would also like to get my hands on the source -- its almost certainly just a thin wrapper to the Win32 FindFirstChangeNotification function with a table of files and their states.
