Linux-Inotify2 (1.22) *

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

Don't use any modules by Marc Lehmann, you will almost certainly regret it later. This author has a history of extreme hostility towards the Perl community and will actively prevent you from using his software if he doesn't like you, or what you do with it.

To give you an example, in the 6.1 release of AnyEvent he made AnyEvent.pm die if you use it together with IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent. metacpan.org/source/MLEHMANN/AnyEvent...

Linux-Inotify2 (1.2) *****

The Catalyst Restarter was recently improved and in the process it seems to consume more CPU. Installing this module was recommended on #catalyst for Linux kernels 2.6.13 or greater. It reduced CPU memory spikes from 22-25% to about 7-8% in my non-formal tests.

I highly recommend it.

This module works fine and integrates nicely with your event loop of choice. I am not sure why it only has two stars.

Linux-Inotify2 (1.2) ***

Documentation still needs work, although it is getting better. Lines that are confusing are lines like; "cancel this watcher: remove no further events". Does that mean,

- Remove, no further events

- Remove events that don't go further

- Remove further events

Also some of the code itself might not be considered "Modern Perl," one could replace the printf * foreach @array with a print map { } @array for example.

But all in all, thanks for doing this Marc, I'm glad to have this module on CPAN.

I would like someone in the documentation to point out more of the differences between Linux::Inotify and Linux::Inotify2. The documentation lacks too much information in both of them.
