Thankfully I don't have the requirement for an "atomic deletion" of the file, because
- I'm locking a semaphore file
- the target files have unique names
- their content is not security relevant
- it's basically logging for observing state and retrieving errors
But I'm trying to build my solution as OS agnostic as possible.
I will let you know if I find something for "atomic deletion" on Win.°

I still rather feel like a Linuxer even after 5 years in a Win project.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
