Howto detect product price changes?

Hi all,
 
I need to detect any price change of products and then use the data of an change product to update an external database - so is has to be near realtime and a "polling" scenario in certain intervals won't work.
 
As far as I found out, one can neither create a workflow on the "pricebookEntry" object (together with an outgoing call), nor does Apex allow to define a trigger on "pricebookEntry".
 
Is there any other way that might be usable to trigger an external script as soon as a product price has been changed?
 
TIA & Cheers,
Harry

Chris,

unfortunately and according to the SF.com support this is not possible in general - seems to be another "forgotten function". Could be that it will be addressed in the next SF edition...

Cheers,

Harry
