Hi, It probably prints out twice because it is seeing more than one change. I tested this by removing the 'shutdown' line and running the script. Then i ran 'touch one two three four five' to create five new files in the current directory. I then observed: c:\D-Drive\projects\changenotify>perl test.pl Something changed in . Something changed in . Something changed in . Something changed in . Something changed in . You can change the filter to be more restrictive in what changes it monitors: ATTRIBUTES Any attribute change DIR_NAME Any directory name change FILE_NAME Any file name change (creating/deleting/renaming) LAST_WRITE Any change to a file's last write time SECURITY Any security descriptor change SIZE Any change in a file's size Apart from that, as it is a wrapper around Win32::ChangeNotify it has the same limitations of that module, ie. it'll only monitor directories and it doesn't return what has changed, just that a change has occured. I hope that clears up things. Cheers, -- Chris Williams aka BinGOs PGP ID 0x4658671F http://www.gumbynet.org.uk ==========================
