Yup, no locking whatsoever. Two hits come through at the same time
and BLAMMO, you get a zero count because one is reading the empty
file that the other is creating.
See File::CounterFile in the CPAN for a working solution that requires
very little programming. See a programmer if you don't want to do
the programming yourself.
And based on this example, I'd avoid *ANY* code that comes
from
# A Script of World of Scott #
# http://worldofscott.virtualave.net #
as someone who needs to be hit with a clue bat about three more times.
