Hello everybody, I will be releasing version 0.1 of POE::Component::DirWatch later this week. As some of you may remember, the POE::Component::DirWatch namespace was originally home to Eric Cholet's module by the same name. Almost 2 years ago I released POE::Component::DirWatch::Object, a Moose-based replacement for the original DirWatch and shortly afterward Eric removed his module from the CPAN and let me have the DirWatch name space. I am now releasing the replacement for DirWatch object under the original DirWatch name space, since I feel like it has been quite a while.
The new DirWatch breaks off all compatibility with the original DirWatch project, but it supports all of the features of the original DirWatch and some new ones. Notably, I recently added support for asynchronous directory polling using IO::AIO as well as a simple and extensible interface using POE. If any of you would like to take a look at the new code and give me any input or ideas I would really appreciate it. A developer release should be hitting CPAN any hour now. Thanks, --Guillermo Roditi (groditi)
