<H1><A NAME="description">DESCRIPTION</A></H1>
<P>This module allows access to the Win32 mutex objects. The <A HREF="#item_wait"><CODE>wait</CODE></A>
method and <CODE>wait_all</CODE> & <CODE>wait_any</CODE> functions are inherited from the
<A HREF="#win32::ipc">Win32::IPC</A> module.</P>

<H2><A NAME="methods">Methods</A></H2>
<DL>
<DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_new">$mutex = Win32::Mutex->new([$initial, [$name]])</A></STRONG><BR>
<DD>
Constructor for a new mutex object. If <CODE>$initial</CODE> is true, requests
immediate ownership of the mutex (default false). If <CODE>$name</CODE> is
omitted, creates an unnamed mutex object.
<P>If <CODE>$name</CODE> signifies an existing mutex object, then <CODE>$initial</CODE> is
ignored and the object is opened.</P>
<P></P>
<DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_open">$mutex = Win32::Mutex-><CODE>open($name)</CODE></A></STRONG><BR>
<DD>
Constructor for opening an existing mutex object.
<P></P>
<DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_release">$mutex->release</A></STRONG><BR>
<DD>
Release ownership of a <CODE>$mutex</CODE>. You should have obtained ownership
of the mutex through <A HREF="#item_new"><CODE>new</CODE></A> or one of the wait functions. Returns
true if successful.
<P></P>
<DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_wait">$mutex-><CODE>wait([$timeout])</CODE></A></STRONG><BR>
<DD>
Wait for ownership of <CODE>$mutex</CODE>. See <A HREF="#win32::ipc">Win32::IPC</A>.

<H2><A NAME="deprecated functions and methods">Deprecated Functions and Methods</A></H2>
<P><STRONG>Win32::Mutex</STRONG> still supports the ActiveWare syntax, but its use is
deprecated.</P>

Use <A HREF="#item_new"><CODE>$MutObj = Win32::Mutex->new($Initial,$Name)</CODE></A> instead.
<P></P>
<DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_Open"><CODE>Open($MutObj,$Name)</CODE></A></STRONG><BR>

Use <A HREF="#item_open"><CODE>$MutObj = Win32::Mutex->open($Name)</CODE></A> instead.
