NAME

Mail::Box::Locker::Multi - lock a folder in all ways which work

CLASS HIERARCHY

Mail::Box::Locker::Multi
is a Mail::Box::Locker
is a Mail::Reporter

SYNOPSIS

See Mail::Box::Locker

DESCRIPTION

The ::Multi locker locks a folder in each way it can. This way, the chance is highest that any other program will leave the folder alone during our access to it.

NFS-lock and Flock are tried. More may be added when the ways to lock are extended. DotLock overlaps with NFS-lock, but NFS-lock is safer, so that version is prefered.
