Oops! 2008.01 2008-03-27 - Joshua Kronengold, mneme at io dot com, sent in a patch to use IO::File instead of the $gensym hack. Applied. - Carl Fürstenber, azatoth at gmail dot com and others requested that license terms be spelled out. Done. 104.111901 2004-11-19 - Bugfix in &unlock for if the lock file has been removed. - Bugfix by Vadim O. Ustiansky <ustiansk@sai.msu.ru>. 101.060501 2001-06-05 - Added $av0debug variable to note locking attempts in $0 [2001-05-18] - Added lock_rename to the EXPORT list. 100.092501 2000-09-25 - Added tests to make sure 'nonblocking' works 99.121701 1999-12-17 - Added the lock_rename() function. 99.062201 1999-06-22 - SunOS systems seem to fail with EWOULDBLOCK on locked files. [1999-06-21] - It appears that on some systems (HP-UX) a blocking call to flock() can fail with EACCES instead of EAGAIN. [1999-06-15] - Perl changes. File::Flock must change to keep up. A call to lock() had to be changed to &lock(). Why? 98.120101 1998-12-01 - More fixes for Solaris. - Modified the unlock() function so that it can be called as a reference. 98.113001 1998-11-30 - Fixed the object-style interface. - Attempt to fix a double-unlock bug that makes the Linux port unhappy 98.112801 1998-11-26 - Chaged O_RDONLY to O_RDWR for all file opens because Solaris won't let you get an exclusive lock on a read-only file. Crazy! Change suggested by Lupe Christoph <lupe@alanya.m.isar.de>. Thanks! - Rewrote the handling of the removal of files created just so that they could be locked. Also tried to make sure that now file descriptors could get leaked.
