17=head1 DESCRIPTION 17=head1 DESCRIPTION
18 18
19This module implements counted semaphores. You can initialize a mutex
20with any level of parallel users, that is, you can intialize a sempahore
21that can be C<down>ed more than once until it blocks. There is no owner
22associated with semaphores, so one coroutine can C<down> it while another
23can C<up> it.
24
25Counting semaphores are typically used to coordinate access to
26resources, with the semaphore count initialized to the number of free
27resources. Coroutines then increment the count when resources are added
28and decrement the count when resources are removed.

40=item new [inital count, default one]
41
42Creates a new sempahore object with the given initial lock count. The
43default lock count is 1, which means it is unlocked by default. Zero (or
44negative values) are also allowed, in which case the semaphore is locked
45by default.

53=item $sem->down
54
55Decrement the counter, therefore "locking" the semaphore. This method
56waits until the semaphore is available if the counter is zero.

82=item $sem->try
83
84Try to C<down> the semaphore. Returns true when this was possible,
85otherwise return false and leave the semaphore unchanged.
