flock and Fcntl

[Rene Verharen]

Hi all,

Do I always need

use Fcntl qw(:flock);

if I want to use

flock(FILEHANDLE, 2)

in my scripts ? I'm asking because some scripts I found on the web do and some other don't, although they all use flock.


Is there also a nice way to omit the "flock() unimplemented on this platform" error when testing my scripts local on a W98 platform ?
I'm using ActiveState Perl version 5.005_03



Kind regards,



Rene Verharen
