WHAT IS IT This Perl module is useful for writers of daemons and other processes that need to tell whether they are already running, in order to prevent multiple process instances. The module accomplishes this via *nix-style I, which are files that store a process identifier. HOW TO INSTALL Just type: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install ...and you should be all set. HOW TO USE For usage, please consult the man page provided with this package, and make sure to read the warning!
