Greetings,

I found time to complete this including releasing 1.002 on CPAN.

In the future, I will remove MCE::Mutex from MCE and have it depend on the new Mutex module. Regarding MCE::Shared, eventually that will no longer depend on MCE now that Mutex is a separate module.

Currently, there are two implementations. The default is "Channel" when "impl" is not given.

use strict;
use warnings;

use Mutex;

my $m1 = Mutex->new( );
my $m2 = Mutex->new( path => /tmp/my.lock );
my $m3 = Mutex->new( impl => "Channel" );
my $m4 = Mutex->new( impl => "Flock" );

$m1->impl();  # Channel
$m2->impl();  # Flock
$m3->impl();  # Channel
$m4->impl();  # Flock

$m1->lock;
$m1->unlock;

$m2->lock_exclusive;  # Fcntl LOCK_EX
$m2->lock             # ditto LOCK_EX
$m2->lock_shared;     # Fcntl LOCK_SH
$m2->unlock;          # Fcntl LOCK_UN
