I assume that's a question. No, it won't. If you open a file for writing no
other program can write to it.

Sorry, no. What is your intent? Usually you either have CGIs that output
HTML directly or scripts that update an HTML file. But CGIs that write to a
HTML file... that looks pretty uncommon.
Don't worry about updating a static HTML file though. If you are using
a decent web server like Apache it will have the file cached and try to
read it once you are done changing it. But don't use CGIs for that.
