AdvNotify module (By Amine Moulay Ramdane) version 1.31

With this object oriented Perl module you will be able to monitor the changes on your directories, this allows your Perl application to respond to changes in the file system, such as new file and/or directory creation, renaming, size, attribute, time,
security-descriptor changes etc. Also, with AdvNotify you can run multiple threads from inside your Perl application to monitor the file system changes and you will be notified of wich file has been changed. The AdvNotify's interface has been carefully
designed to be very easy to use.

Note: AdvNotify does use asynchronous completion to receive notification from the WinNT OS (no wasting CPU time "polling"), hence AdvNotify is very efficient. This module needs the API module, please download and install the API module before installing
AdvNotify.
