Flock 1.1 offers nectar for social butterflies

Fri, 11 Apr 2008 08:00:00 GMT
When we looked at Flock 0.9 last year, the social Web browser showed a lot of potential. Now that it's over the 1.0 hump, the Flock team has made good on the application's promise. Maybe too good -- while Flock serves up a lot of content on a single page, you practically need super-powers to take it all in. Once you cut back on the sensory input a bit though, it's a pretty slick Firefox alternative for anyone with a ton of cyber friends.

NAME
Mail::Box::Locker::Multi - lock a folder in all ways which work INHERITANCE
Mail::Box::Locker::Multi is a Mail::Box::Locker is a Mail::Reporter SYNOPSIS
See Mail::Box::Locker DESCRIPTION
The "::Multi" locker locks a folder in each way it can. This way, the chance is highest that any other program will leave the folder alone during our access to it. NFS-lock and Flock are tried. More may be added when the ways to lock are extended. DotLock overlaps with NFS-lock, but NFS-lock is safer, so that version is preferred. METHODS
Constructors Mail::Box::Locker::Multi->new(OPTIONS) You may also pass all OPTIONS understood by the initiated lockers used by the multi locker. -Option --Defined in --Default expires Mail::Box::Locker 1 hour file Mail::Box::Locker undef folder Mail::Box::Locker <undef> log Mail::Reporter 'WARNINGS' method Mail::Box::Locker 'MULTI' timeout Mail::Box::Locker 10 seconds trace Mail::Reporter 'WARNINGS' use <all possible> expires => SECONDS file => FILENAME folder => FOLDER log => LEVEL method => STRING|CLASS|ARRAY timeout => SECONDS|'NOTIMEOUT' trace => LEVEL use => ARRAY-of-(NAMES|LOCKER) Array of locker type NAMES or LOCKER objects to be used to lock one folder. The type NAMES are converted into objects. When you create your own LOCKER objects, be sure to set the timeout very short (preferrably to 1). Some locking types are not available on some platforms, so they will not be excluded from the default list (NFS POSIX Flock). example: using a subset of multi-lockers my $locker = Mail::Box::Locker::Multi->new(use => ['DOTLOCK','FLOCK']); The Locker $obj->filename([FILENAME]) See "The Locker" in Mail::Box::Locker $obj->folder([FOLDER]) See "The Locker" in Mail::Box::Locker $obj->lockers() Returns a list with all locker objects used by this object. $obj->name() See "The Locker" in Mail::Box::Locker Locking $obj->hasLock() See "Locking" in Mail::Box::Locker $obj->isLocked() See "Locking" in Mail::Box::Locker $obj->lock(FOLDER) See "Locking" in Mail::Box::Locker $obj->unlock() See "Locking" in Mail::Box::Locker Error handling $obj->AUTOLOAD() See "Error handling" in Mail::Reporter $obj->addReport(OBJECT) See "Error handling" in Mail::Reporter $obj->defaultTrace([LEVEL]|[LOGLEVEL, TRACELEVEL]|[LEVEL, CALLBACK]) Mail::Box::Locker::Multi->defaultTrace([LEVEL]|[LOGLEVEL, TRACELEVEL]|[LEVEL, CALLBACK]) See "Error handling" in Mail::Reporter $obj->errors() See "Error handling" in Mail::Reporter $obj->log([LEVEL [,STRINGS]]) Mail::Box::Locker::Multi->log([LEVEL [,STRINGS]]) See "Error handling" in Mail::Reporter $obj->logPriority(LEVEL) Mail::Box::Locker::Multi->logPriority(LEVEL) See "Error handling" in Mail::Reporter $obj->logSettings() See "Error handling" in Mail::Reporter $obj->notImplemented() See "Error handling" in Mail::Reporter $obj->report([LEVEL]) See "Error handling" in Mail::Reporter $obj->reportAll([LEVEL]) See "Error handling" in Mail::Reporter $obj->trace([LEVEL]) See "Error handling" in Mail::Reporter $obj->warnings() See "Error handling" in Mail::Reporter Cleanup $obj->DESTROY() See "Cleanup" in Mail::Box::Locker $obj->inGlobalDestruction() See "Cleanup" in Mail::Reporter DIAGNOSTICS
Error: Package $package does not implement $method. Fatal error: the specific package (or one of its superclasses) does not implement this method where it should. This message means that some other related classes do implement this method however the class at hand does not. Probably you should investigate this and probably inform the author of the package.
