=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module allows the user to create a change notification event object
in Perl.  This object allows the Perl program to monitor events relating
to files and directory trees.

The ChangeNotify module is written entirely in C++. So here is a 
list of the members etc.(Note: no functions are exported)

		This is the constructor for the object. An instantiated object is
		returned in $Obj.
		Args:
			$Obj				The container for the created object.
			$WatchSubTree		A boolean value defining whether the subtree
								should be included.
			$Filter				See the exported values below to see the options
