DESCRIPTION
    This locker object is uses File::FcntlLock, and was contributed by Jim
    in Aus. It is close to Mail::Box::Locker::POSIX, but does work on more
    systems, for instance Darwin.

    You will need to install File::FcntlLock separately: there is no
    dependency to it by the MailBox distribution.

DIAGNOSTICS
    Warning: Folder $folder already lockf'd
    Error: Package $package does not implement $method.
        Fatal error: the specific package (or one of its superclasses) does
        not implement this method where it should. This message means that
        some other related classes do implement this method however the
        class at hand does not. Probably you should investigate this and
        probably inform the author of the package.

    Error: Unable to check lock file $filename for $folder: $!
        To check whether the filename is used to flock a folder, the file
        must be opened. Apparently this fails, which does not mean that the
        folder is locked neither that it is unlocked.

    Error: Unable to open FcntlLock lock file $filename for $folder: $!
        For FcntlLock style locking, a folder it must be opened, which does
        not succeed for the specified reason.

    Error: Will never get a FcntlLock lock at $filename for $folder: $!
        Tried to lock the folder, but it did not succeed. The error code
        received from the OS indicates that it will not succeed ever, so we
        do not need to try again.
