Mutual exclusion is achieved through the use of temporary files and the C function. =head1 CONFIGURATION The module must know where to create its temporary files. You must pass an argument in the usual Apache::Session style. The name of the argument is LockDirectory and its value is the path where you want the lockfiles created. Example: tie %s, 'Apache::Session::Blah', $id, {LockDirectory => '/var/lock/sessions'} If you do not supply this argument, temporary files will be created in /tmp. =head1 NOTES This module does not unlink temporary files, because it interferes with proper locking. THis can cause problems on certain systems (Linux) whose file systems (ext2) do not perform well with lots of files in one directory. To prevent this you should use a script to clean out old files from your lock directory. The meaning of old is left as a policy decision for the implementor, but a method is provided for implementing that policy. You can use the C method of this module to remove files unmodified in the last $age seconds. Example: my $l = new Apache::Session::Lock::File; $l->clean('/var/lock/sessions', 3600) #remove files older than 1 hour =head1 AUTHOR This module was written by Jeffrey William Baker . =head1 SEE ALSO L
