I am now looking into using Perl to sign certs much like the CA.pl, but I need 
to address the issue of simultaneous access to certain files. 

I can fix the newreq.pem problem by adding a command line arg that is passed 
to the script, but what about index.txt. Should I do a filelock on index.txt 
somehow? Is there a way to make ca ignore it and use a database instead? What 
about the serials file? This seems like something someone else might have 
already solved, but my searches haven't turned anything up yet.

So, what is a clean and secure way to handle simultaneous ca requests?

Thanks,
Andrew
