Log::Dispatch::File::Locked(3) Subclass of Log::Dispatch::File to facilitate locking

VERSION

version 2.56

SYNOPSIS


use Log::Dispatch;
my $log = Log::Dispatch->new(
outputs => [
[
'File::Locked',
min_level => 'info',
filename => 'Somefile.log',
mode => '>>',
newline => 1
]
],
);
$log->emerg("I've fallen and I can't get up");

DESCRIPTION

This module acts exactly like Log::Dispatch::File except that it obtains an exclusive lock on the file while opening it.

Note that if you are using this output because you want to write to a file from multiple processes, you should open the file with the append "mode" (">>"), or else it's quite likely that one process will overwrite another.
