Thanks, jeffa. I guess I was fooled by the tie being applied to the array coupled by the following in:

http://search.cpan.org/~mjd/Tie-File-0.96/lib/Tie/File.pm#flock

"The best way to unlock a file is to discard the object and untie the array."

Man, I want to become a solid perl programmer. I was an engineer for several years in semiconductors and have been in software for ~6 years. I scripted (read: SCRIPTED) in perl for five of those.

Say, I listened to the song you have posted. Not bad, but the title is much better, i.e. "the triplet paradiddle with a high-hat" - how can you beat that?

If you like it, perhaps you might give a song called Serengetti (Grateful Dead off Shakedown Street) a try. All percussion where it gradually adds more and then removes it.

Well, thanks again, jeffa...

Cheers!
