Re: FLOCK

As much as I would like to use a database, like MySQL, I can't find an
example of the code
that isn't in a perl formay I can read and understand, I don't know alot
about perl and its assumed
vars like $_ and the super compressed codes using {[\f\t\t/t/y/g/d/d\.s1?]}
.. yeah.. i jusy made that up
but it looks like the perl code I see ... super secret coded perl....

so I use semephore files and flock...maybe it will help you.
