Difference between lock() and err() is this.

$ perl5.6.1 -wle 'sub lock { "foo" }  print lock'
foo
$ bleadperl -wle 'sub lock { "foo" }  print lock'
foo
$ bleadperl -wle 'sub err { "foo" }  print err'
Ambiguous call resolved as CORE::err(), qualify as such or use & at -e line 1.
syntax error at -e line 1, at EOF
Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.
