NAME

Log::Log4perl::Util::Semaphore - Easy to use semaphores

SYNOPSIS

use Log::Log4perl::Util::Semaphore;
my $sem = Log::Log4perl::Util::Semaphore->new( key => "abc" );

$sem->semlock();
  # ... critical section 
$sem->semunlock();

$sem->semset( uid  => (getpwnam("hugo"))[2], 
              gid  => 102,
              mode => 0644
            );

DESCRIPTION

Log::Log4perl::Util::Semaphore provides the synchronisation mechanism for the Synchronized.pm appender in Log4perl, but can be used independently of Log4perl.

As a convenience, the uid field accepts user names as well, which it translates into the corresponding uid by running getpwnam.
