SRPM URL: http://www.environnement.ens.fr/perso/dumas/fc-srpms/perl-File-NFSLock-1.20-1.src.rpm
Description: 

Program based of concept of hard linking of files being atomic across NFS. 
This concept was mentioned in Mail::Box::Locker (which was originally 
presented in Mail::Folder::Maildir). Some routine flow is taken from 
there -- particularly the idea of creating a random local file, hard 
linking a common file to the local file, and then checking the nlink 
status. Some ideologies were not complete (uncache mechanism, shared 
locking) and some coding was even incorrect (wrong stat index). 
File::NFSLock was written to be light, generic, and fast.
