# File::ChangeNotify::Watcher::Default(3pm)

Fallback default watcher subclass

## NAME

File::ChangeNotify::Watcher::Default - Fallback default watcher subclass

## VERSION

version 0.31

## DESCRIPTION

This class implements watching by comparing two snapshots of the filesystem tree. It if inefficient and dumb, and so it is the subclass of last resort.

Its `"$watcher->wait_for_events"` method sleeps between comparisons of the filesystem snapshot it takes.
