in thread Can flock occasionally fail on systems that support file locking?

Thank you for this information.

According to the ISP's FAQ, the version of Perl on the Web server is 5.00503-2.

However, this script is used on many web sites so I now have more motivation to put in error handling around the flock calls to handle the case where 5.8 is installed and flock times out.

Thank you!

Richard
