p5-Mutex

Various locking implementations supporting processes and threads

This module, a standalone version of MCE::Mutex, implements locking methods that can be used to coordinate access to shared data from multiple workers spawned as processes or threads. The inspiration for this module came from reading Mutex for Ruby. $m1 = Mutex->new( ); $m1->impl(); # Channel $m2 = Mutex->new( path => /tmp/my.lock ); $m2->impl(); # Flock $m3 = Mutex->new( impl => "Channel" ); $m3->impl(); # Channel $m4 = Mutex->new( impl => "Flock" ); $m4->impl(); # Flock
