Current modules include IPC::Lock::Memcached. Please refer to a child module for their respective usage. Generally, you instantiate a $lock object via new. The new will contain connection parameters. Then call $lock->lock($key) where $key is a unique identifier. The default value set for the lock comes from $self->atomic_value, which by default is return "$self->{hostname}:$$:" . scalar gettimeofday; The value can potentially be used for debugging. When $lock leaves scope, $lock->unlock gets called. When called via destroy, unlock will destroy the last $key that was locked. To avoid relying on this magic, call $lock->unlock explicitly. =head1 PARAMETERS The following parameters can be set in the instantiation: ttl - number of seconds the lock should last, default is 60 patience - number of seconds to wait for a lock, default is 2 increment - number of seconds to wait between atomic attempts, default is 0.05 So, to instantiate with a ttl of a day, patience of a minute and increment of a second my $lock = IPC::Lock::Child->new({ ttl => 86400, patience => 60, increment => 1, }); =head1 DESCRIPTION Simple way to lock across multiple boxes. Child modules need to implement two methods atomic - a way to lock atomically unatomic - a way to undo your atomic function =head1 THANKS Thanks to Perrin Harkins for suggesting the IPC::Lock namespace.
