in thread Concurrent file access with flock()

Hi Zaxo,

Here's my comment:

1. I am quite sure that LOCK_EX == 2, so it should be fine.

2. Correct me if I am wrong, most of the example that I see uses localizing *FH for file handling issue. This will also goes out of scope since I put it inside a scope.

3. Actually, this is not the actual code, I put it here just to simplify things. In actual, there are few different perl script that actually access the counter file, but it is access via a common package (with locking of course). I even have some script accessing the counter via mod_perl 1.99.

4. RedHat does have support for flock(), I have been using it all the while and it doesn't give me any problems.

Just want to know if anyone experience this kind of problem before. Anyway, thanks for your comment!

Regards,
Perl Beginner.
