Subject: Enhancement Request: Allow delay values < 1 second using Time::HiRes
I'm developing some real-time code that needs this file locking functionality, however, if the file is locked, I need it to retry ~10 times in under a second, so like a 50 MS sleep is required. This can be achieved by using Time::HiRes and usleep. You can probably keep your user interface by allowing a floating-point value for -delay. Thanks for considering my enhancement!

Actually you can do a drop-in replacement of "sleep($delay)" with "Time::HiRes::sleep($delay);"

I, however, somehow already co-maintain it on https://github.com/renormalist/LockFile-Simple and accept patches. @SNOOPYJC - can you please provide a patch so that it perfectly works exactly as you need it? I will do the cpan release. Kind regards, Steffen -- Steffen Schwigon <ss5@renormalist.net> Dresden Perl Mongers <http://dresden-pm.org/>
