✨ VERSION ✨

version 2.71 — periodt.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

Okay so here’s the whole vibe:

         use Log::Dispatch;

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

         $log->emerg("I've fallen and I can't get up");

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This module acts exactly like Log::Dispatch::File except that it obtains an exclusive lock on the file while opening it. No cap, that’s the whole extra little main-character move 💅.

Note that if you are using this output because you want to write to a file from multiple processes, you should open the file with the append mode (">>"), or else it’s quite likely that one process will overwrite another. fr fr, don’t skip the append mode 🙈.
