perl-Linux-Inotify2

This module implements an interface to the Linux 2.6.13 and later Inotify
file/directory change notification system.
It has a number of advantages over the Linux::Inotify module:

it is portable (Linux::Inotify only works on x86)
the equivalent of fullname works correctly
it is better documented
it has callback-style interface, which is better suited for
integration.

As for the inotify API itself - it is a very tricky, and somewhat
unreliable API. For a good overview of the challenges you might run into,
see this LWN article: https://lwn.net/Articles/605128/.
