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.
