NAME
Mysql::Locker - Safe way of locking and unlocking MySQL tables.
SYNOPSIS
use Mysql::Locker;
# Create table locks
my $locker = new Mysql::Locker($dbh,
{'Customers' => 'READ',
'Articles' => 'WRITE'});
# Execute some tricky statements here...
# Locks are automically released when $locker goes out of scope.
undef($locker);DESCRIPTION
Mysql::Locker is a simple class for safely using MySQL locks. Locks are created when you instantiate the class and are automatically released when the object goes out of scope (or when you call undef on the object). One situation where this class is useful is when you have persistent database connections such as in some mod_perl scripts and you want to be sure that locks are always released even when a script dies somewhere unexpectedly.
