Bug #89368 for File-LockDir: A locking framework should not be calling die

This module is called by other PERL programs that need file locking yet it calls fatal, confess, and croak. All of these calls will end the program. I see no point in this. A locking framework should either return success or failure. I see no circumstances where it should end a program. Granted we can call it from an eval block but why should that be necessary? -- Ray Kosby Software Engineer ASRC office - (301) 286-5095, fax - (301) 286-7475 Ray.B.Kosby@nasa.gov NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, MS 452.1 Bldg 13 Rm 141, Greenbelt, MD 20771 Confidentiality Notice | This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential or proprietary information.
