DESCRIPTION

       This locker object is uses File::FcntlLock, and was contributed by Jim in Aus. It is close
       to Mail::Box::Locker::POSIX, but does work on more systems, for instance Darwin.

       You will need to install File::FcntlLock separately: there is no dependency to it by the
       MailBox distribution.

DIAGNOSTICS

       Warning: Folder $folder already lockf'd
       Error: Package $package does not implement $method.
           Fatal error: the specific package (or one of its superclasses) does not implement this
           method where it should. This message means that some other related classes do
           implement this method however the class at hand does not.  Probably you should
           investigate this and probably inform the author of the package.

       Error: Unable to check lock file $filename for $folder: $!
           To check whether the filename is used to flock a folder, the file must be opened.
           Apparently this fails, which does not mean that the folder is locked neither that it
           is unlocked.

       Error: Unable to open FcntlLock lock file $filename for $folder: $!
           For FcntlLock style locking, a folder it must be opened, which does not succeed for
           the specified reason.

       Error: Will never get a FcntlLock lock at $filename for $folder: $!
           Tried to lock the folder, but it did not succeed.  The error code received from the OS
           indicates that it will not succeed ever, so we do not need to try again.
