Re^2: Error in CGI::Session on Windows: flock() not implemented

I am using version 5.6.1

code you gave doesn't work. It fails with message 'Can't open mailbox: no file or directory" because I am trying this in windows and it can't find '/usr/spool/mail...'

Sorry, I suppose I should have told you to revise the file path to something that exists on your machine (probably c:\\temp\\something_or_other.txt). Revise and try and see if it dies on the flock() call. Update: Why aren't you using a newer version of Perl? Celebrate Intellectual Diversity	[reply]

Thanks for the update. I tried changing the script as you suggested. I get this message "flock() unimplemented on this paltform". I am runnign this on windows 98SE. Is that the cause of this error?	[reply]

Thanks for the update. I tried changing the script as you suggested. I get this message "flock() unimplemented on this paltform". I am using perl 5.6.1 to be consistent with the version I have in Unix ( I don't have admin privileges in Unix to install the latest version) I am running this on windows 98SE. Is that the cause of this error?	[reply]
