Hello there web dudes, just got a wee question concerning Perl Modules.
Well I've been starting to you use CGI programs that generate files and the like, and to avoid anything going wrong, locking them when used. The only problem is, it seems that the flock() function isn't working. Whenever I try to run a program that uses it I get:
flock() unimplemented on this platform
Now I'm guessing I'll have to download a module with it on, anyone got any ideas as to which one it might be?
Cheers.

Ah cheers.
Almost certainly isn't a module problem.
Its telling you that the OS doesn't support file locking (at least in the way its implemented via perl). Usually you get this when trying to run perl off a windows or some other OS other than *nix. The usual solution is just not to use it.
Or you can try visiting search.cpan.org and see if you can find an alternate implementation.
