Description

       This module acts exactly like Log::Dispatch::File except that it obtains an exclusive lock on the file
       while opening it.

       Note that if you are using this output because you want to write to a file from multiple processes, you
       should open the file with the append "mode" (">>"), or else it's quite likely that one process will
       overwrite another.
