Hello, DW>I would also suggest using BerkeleyDB.pm, but with the DW>DB_INIT_MPOOL|DB_INIT_CDB flags. In this mode, only one writer is DW>allowed at a time, and Berkeley automatically handles all the locking DW>and flushing. Just don't forget to use db_close() to close the file DW>before untie'ing it.
One caveat on this, BerkeleyDB maintains its locks and other environment information in a local memory segment so this won't work if multiple machines share the same BerkeleyDB file (e.g., you are using the BerkeleyDB file over NFS).
