I just uploaded a new module: Lock::File.

I guess the main reason I'm writing this blog post is because I feel guilty about it. There are SO MANY other similar modules.
I wanted to review them all, neilb style. I never found time to do it. Damn you, perfectionism.

I don't want to explain my issues with other modules here. I'm not sure if Lock::File is really much better than others, or if I'm just biased because I used it for years. You can look at Lock::File POD and decide for yourself.
But I finally realised that I have too much unreleased code and I've postponed its uploading to CPAN just because I didn't want to duplicate some existing code. Damn you, perfectionism.

In addition to that, the copy of Lock::File, named Ubic::Lockf, was bundled with Ubic for years.

And yet, I feel guilty. Sorry, guys.
