The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: File::NFSLock
DSLIP: bdpOp
description: NFS compatible (safe) locking utility
userid: RHANDOM (Paul T. Seamons)
chapterid: 10 (File_Names_Systems_Locking)
communities:
In company (for past year). Possibly on perlmonks.org
similar:
rationale:
There are currently interfaces to flock. However, they do nothing
to provide for locking across NFS. File::NFSLock provides safe, fast
locking across NFS with little overhead.
Our company has been looking for a solution for over a year. We
recently saw a note that said hard linking is atomic across NFS.
That was all we needed.
There is something in Mail::Box::Locker that tries to do something
similar, but it doesn't seem to be generalized and it is not a
finished solution.
File::NFSLock currently supports blocking and nonblocking locks and
will soon allow for shared locking as well.
