A monk told me I should look into flocking my databases a few days past and since then I've tried to find documentation on it but didn't find any. I looked up flock on here, perldoc and cpan but it was only for basic filehandles, not databases. On the bottom of the pages they said something like "for more information, click 'this link'" and in each case the link wasn't retrievable. Not only this but I asked on www.tek-tips.com and a person there said they never heard of flocking a database and they don't think it's possible. Oh, and I looked in LP3 and the Cookbook and it didn't give me the information I was looking for either :(

Will any of you wise monks tell me if this is possible and/or show me documentation or an example on how to flock a database rather than just a file?

thanks
