The relevant code is:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use Fcntl ':flock';

sub add {
open FH, ">>$file" or die "Cant open config file $!\n";
  lock();
  print FH "zone \"$formdata{domain}\" in \{\n\ttype slave\;\n\tfile\"
+$client\/db.$formdata{domain}\"\;\n\tallow-query \{ any\; \}\; \}\;\n
+\n";
  unlock();
close FH;
}
sub lock {
  flock(FH,LOCK_EX);
}

sub unlock {
  flock(FH,LOCK_UN);
}

I've read over flock and I seem to be using the exact syntax as in the description page, however when ran, my script returns:

Not enough arguments for lock at ./dnsmod.cgi line 232, near "lock()"

From the snippet above, line 232 is simply:

lock();

What additional arguments is it looking for?

humbly -c

In reply to error stating flock requires more args by c
