Call me old fashioned, but I think this line: 
my @stuff = @ENV{ @vars };

might look/work better like this: 
my @stuff = map { $ENV{$_} } @vars;

[download]
(But I'm just not familiar with the "@ENV{@vars}" syntax, so this might not be the issue...)

update: Okay, so now that I've learned a new wrinkle of Perl syntax ("@ENV{@vars}" works just like the "map{}" construct that I had been comfortable with), I need to bow out of the discussion... I'd recommend some alternate method to verify that your set of ENV keys do in fact have values assigned to them when that line executes, but Windows CGI is another area that is foreign to me, so I wouldn't hazard a guess about the best way to do that...

And having put "file lock" in the search box, and briefly scanning a few relevant nodes, I don't understand why you're getting that error about flock() not being implemented on your platform... unless you're dealing with some web service provider as your cgi host machine, and they have some deficiently-configured version of Perl to satisfy some sort of "policy".

another update: Well, december may be right -- there seems to be conflicting info about flock on windows, but it looks like it really isn't there -- but it wouldn't be hard to roll your own substitute for this particular app, using a semaphore file. There was a nice article about this in TPJ back in February, I think -- you can find it here:
