NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

use Log::Dispatch::File::Locked;

my $log =
    Log::Dispatch->new
        ( outputs =>
          [ 'File::Locked' =>
                { min_level => 'info',
                  filename  => 'Somefile.log',
                  mode      => '>>',
                  newline   => 1,
                },
          ],
        );

$file->log( level => 'emerg', message => "I've fallen and I can't get up\n" );

DESCRIPTION

This module acts exactly like Log::Dispatch::File except that it obtains an exclusive lock on the file before writing to it.
