Good points, simon.proctor. I guess I used my @data_arr = $data; because I had used it in writing a guestbook and it had worked pretty well. I commented out the flock call because it isn't supported on my winblows box, and I suppose I forgot to un-comment it. As far as my desire to re-invent the wheel, I wanted to provide a quick access function snippet for people not using CGI::SSI, for people like me who haven't had a chance to install it.
Well, that's my "defense". I'm sure it doesn't hold a candle to CGI::SSI's version, but it was quick, and that's what I wanted. Thanks for the pointers, I'll fix it next version.
