Monitoring folder for changes

Is there any gem or code example that would help me to watch a given
folder for changes and trigger a callback upon change detection?

Thanks!

If speed is more important than portability, you may want to consider utilizing operating specific features. I believe Linux, OSX & Windows all provide notifications of changes to the file system so you wouldn't have to periodically poll.
