Where's DirWatch, the simple one ?
|
|
|
| Folks,
Not too long ago I started to use POE-Component-DirWatch-0.02 for
some testing purposes. Now that I want to test on another system, this
module is nowhere to be found on the CPAN. Instead, there's the
POE::Component::DirWatch::Object which needs this Moose module. By the
description of this Moose, it sounds like an awful lot to install just
to get a dir watcher. I mean, the Perl 6 object-oriented approach and
all that.
Fortunately I found the original 0.02 archive so I can install it on
other systems.
So my question is, was the original DirWatch deadly flawed or what,
to remove it from the CPAN. As for me I did not see it crash or do
system damages. Was I simply lucky ? If it ran fine, why not leave it
on the CPAN ?
Cheers,
Al

| I am the author of DirWatch::Object. I wrote it because DirWatch
didn't fit my needs, if the original author removed it from the CPAN I
am sure he has good reasons, but I like my version so I don't mind.
That being said I never had any problems with the original DirWatch
and am unaware of any fatal flaws in it.

What's the overhead of installing this Moose package ? Does it itself
depend on a lot of other modules ?

I'm not sure where you found it, but in general you can find everything
that was on CPAN on time or the other on BACKPAN
http://backpan.perl.org/
In this case you can find all previous releases here:

Looking at the prereqs:
'Test::LongString' =3D> '0',
'Scalar::Util' =3D> '1.18',
'Test::Exception' =3D> '0.21',
'Class::MOP' =3D> '0.34',
'Sub::Exporter' =3D> '0.954',
'Sub::Name' =3D> '0.02',
'B' =3D> '0',
'Carp' =3D> '0',
'Test::More' =3D> '0.62',
'Sub::Install' =3D> '0.92',
'UNIVERSAL::require' =3D> '0.10'
That doesn't seem too bad, although I don't know what the differenet=20
Sub::* modules pull in in turn. It does seem like a sledgehammer for=20
your particular nut, though.
