in reply to DBI::CSV file locking?

While it doesn't maintain the same backend data format, if you want a single file solution you might look into DBD::SQLite instead and let the SQLite library handle these issues for you (see here for details and caveats).

    Thanks for your response.

    I have had SQLite recommended by others as an option for the backend. Actual database capabilities of the app are fairly light, so this may actually be a better option than mySQL, which was also being considered.
