I think one such mechanism for Linux is called inotify.

There should be similar facilities for Windows.

Of course, there is a low-level API, but I'm thinking of
something that allows you to write:

OnCreateFile: call somescript.cmd
OnCreateDir:  perl someperl.pl

The generic name should be *file system event monitor*.
But I haven't used any.
