DESCRIPTION

33       This module implements reader/write locks. A read can be acquired for
34       read by many coroutines in parallel as long as no writer has locked it
35       (shared access). A single write lock can be acquired when no readers
36       exist. RWLocks basically allow many concurrent readers (without
37       writers) OR a single writer (but no readers).
38
39       You don't have to load "Coro::RWLock" manually, it will be loaded
40       automatically when you "use Coro" and call the "new" constructor.
41
42       $l = new Coro::RWLock;
43           Create a new reader/writer lock.
44
45       $l->rdlock
46           Acquire a read lock.
47
48       $l->tryrdlock
49           Try to acquire a read lock.
50
51       $l->wrlock
52           Acquire a write lock.
53
54       $l->trywrlock
55           Try to acquire a write lock.
56
57       $l->unlock
58           Give up a previous "rdlock" or "wrlock".
