Changes for version 1.34

  • We now use a a global Mutex object for each open file that gracefully handles locking between threads and across forks. This fixes the following deadlock scenarios:
    • a $SIG{__WARN__} handler is installed that logs to Log::Dispatch::FileRotate and log_message issues a warning.
    • multiple dispatchers are in logit() at the same time.
  • Abstract locking functions into Log::Dispatch::FileRotoate::Flock module.
  • Remove flock()'ing of the logfile filehandle. Rely on the lock that we hold on the "lockfile" instead to synchronize writes. [Github #12] holding a lock on the lockfile when writing the log message.
  • Various pod cleanups and enhancements (Thanks Emanuele Tomasi)
  • Avoid multiple stat() calls on the same filehandle (Thanks Emanuele Tomasi)
  • Add user_constraint option to use a custom function to determine when rotation happens (Thanks Emanuele Tomasi).
  • Move rotation code into its own function (Thanks Emanuele Tomasi)
