=head1 DESCRIPTION

This software manages a pid file for you. It will create a pid file,
query the process within to discover if it's still running, and remove
the pid file.

=head2 new

    my $fp = Acme::Ghost::FilePid->new;

    my $fp = Acme::Ghost::FilePid->new(
        file => '/var/run/daemon.pid',
    );

    my $fp = Acme::Ghost::FilePid->new(
        file => '/var/run/daemon.pid',
        pid  => '145',
        autoremove => 1,
    );

This constructor takes three optional paramters.

C<file> - The name of the pid file to work on. If not specified, a pid
file located in C<tempdir()>. So, for example, if C<$0> is F<~/bin/sig.pl>,
the pid file will be F</tmp/sig.pl.pid>.

C<pid> - The pid to write to a new pidfile. If not specified, C<$$> is
used when the pid file doesn't exist. When the pid file does exist, the
pid inside it is used.

C<autoremove> - Auto-remove flag. If this flag specified as true, then
will be removed the pid file automatically on DESTROY phase. Default: false

C<autosave> - Auto-save flag. If this flag specified as true, then
will be saved the pid file automatically while instance create. Default: false

C<auto> - this flag forced sets C<autoremove> and C<autosave> flags. Default: false

=head2 file

    $fp->file("/var/run/file.pid");
    my $pidfile = $fp->file;

Accessor/mutator for the filename used as the pid file.

=head2 load

    $fp->load;

Load owner pid from file.
On success, the object is returned. On failure, C<undef> is
returned.

=head2 owner

    $fp->owner(123);
    my $owner = $fp->owner;

Accessor/mutator for the pid being saved to the pid file.

=head2 pid

    $fp->pid(123);
    my $pid = $fp->pid;

Accessor/mutator for the pid being saved to the pid file.

=head2 remove

    $fp->remove;

Removes the pid file from disk. Returns true on success, false on
failure.

=head2 running

    my $pid = $fp->running;
    die "Service already running: $pid" if $pid;

Checks to see if the pricess identified in the pid file is still
running. If the process is still running, the pid is returned. Otherwise
C<undef> is returned.

=head2 save

    $fp->save;

Writes the pid file to disk, inserting the pid inside the file.
On success, the object is returned. On failure, C<undef> is
returned.
