you mean something like:
### sub MakeTmpFile {
### my ($file, @mlist ) = @_;
### open(FH, ">> $file") or die "unable to open $file:$!\n";
### print FH "$_\n" foreach(@mlist);
### close FH ;
###
### } # end of MakeTmpFile
that takes a list of lines to append to the file vice a single
string - but I guess it would still work...

are you running this under mod_perl and hence could have more
than one invocation all trying to append to the same file????
Yeah a lock file IS a way to solve that type of problem.
