[Catalyst] Self restarting test server!

[Sebastian Riedel]

Many people requested it, now it's in trunk! :)

     http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/Catalyst/trunk/Catalyst

Just update your script directory and start the test server with -r  
flag. (script/myapp_server.pl -r)

It will monitor your files in a 1 second interval and restart the  
server when files matching the regex (defaults to '\.yml$|\.yaml$|\.pm 
$') are modified.
Syntax errors are catched and presented in the logs.

The implementation is platform independent (using File::Find and stat 
()), so it should work on all Unix flavours and Windows. (and no,  
it's not slow) ;)

There seems to be a Mac OS X related bug (at least on my test  
machine, as usual) that lets the server die after about 3 - 5 syntax  
errors in a row, so it would be nice to get as much feedback as  
possible for different platforms!

Here's a example session:
