The first thing I always do is change the syntax to it's simplest
"known-to-work" style and then work from there. I would try
taking the concantation out of the open statement to eliminate
that possibility. Like:
>sub deleteFromSubscribeList {
my $outfile = $mailingListPath . $mailingListName;
>open (DELETEFILE, ">>" . $mailingListPath . $mailingListName) or die "cannot
>open file for appending: $!";
open (DELETEFILE, ">> $outfile") or die $!;
>flock (DELETEFILE, 2) or die "cannot lock file exclusively: $!";
