1) Do not use the numbers, use named constants instead. What if the numbers are different on a different system? use Fcntl qw(:flock); flock (DATABASE, LOCK_EX); 2) Do NOT unlock the file. Simply close the filehandle and it'll be unlocked for you PROPERLY. If you do it like you did you could screw up the file. Keep in mind that the data you printed do not have to be writtent to the file already. They may still be in cache!
