NAME

       Log::Dispatch::File::Locked - Subclass of Log::Dispatch::File to facilitate locking

VERSION

       version 2.71

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.
