Overview

This module implements reader/write locks. A read can be acquired for read by many coroutines in parallel as long as no writer has locked it (shared access). A single write lock can be acquired when no readers exist. RWLocks basically allow many concurrent readers (without writers) OR a single writer (but no readers).

You don't have to load "Coro::RWLock" manually, it will be loaded automatically when you "use Coro" and call the "new" constructor.

`$l = new Coro::RWLock;`	Create a new reader/writer lock.
`$l->rdlock`	Acquire a read lock.
`$l->tryrdlock`	Try to acquire a read lock.
`$l->wrlock`	Acquire a write lock.
`$l->trywrlock`	Try to acquire a write lock.
`$l->unlock`	Give up a previous `"rdlock"` or `"wrlock"`.
