Schmidt, I was out of the country when you emailed me on June 20th, but I did review your patches. Thank you for taking the time to help make improvements. And thank you for your time to follow up. I apologize for not responding earlier, but I want to assure you that I haven't completely dropped off the face of the earth.
Mainly, I didn't immediately apply the patch because I already assumed it didn't work on Windows. It is based on hard linking files after all. And hard links just don't exist on NTFS or FAT32, right? But are you saying that File::NFSLock actually functions on some flavor of Windows with your patch? Is that because the NFS mount could be UNIX on the actual host and so hard links actually could still work? I'm just having a hard time fathoming this. But if it's true, I will have a new version released to CPAN today or tomorrow. Thanks again! -- Rob Brown On Tue, Jul 12, 2011 at 2:32 PM, fREW Schmidt <fri...@gmail.com> wrote: > Also, I have all my patches available at > https://github.com/frioux/File-NFSLock > (git://github.com/frioux/File-NFSLock.git) I've found someone who can > help me get the tests to actually pass, but given the fact that this > module actually works (using the example provided in the repo) I was > hoping we might be able to get it released so I can use it :-) > > -- > fREW Schmidt > http://blog.afoolishmanifesto.com >
