flock works "fine" on Windows NT based Win32 operating systems, so it should be fine on NT4, 2K and XP. flock does not work on the 9x based Win32 operating systems, so this can't work on 95, 98 or Me. You don't say which flavour of Win32 you have, but I assume it's a 9x rather than an NT version.

The warnings are there to suggest that you are using something that you never initialised. Perl is just making a suggestion that as they contain nothing yet, this may not be what you want.

As you haven't loaded CGI::Carp your warnings are going to STDOUT, which is probaly what is upsetting the server. Try changing use CGI qw( fatalsToBrowser ); to use CGI::Carp qw( fatalsToBrowser );

While not critical if you serer isn't exposed on the Internet, it's probably best as december says to upgrade Apache when you get a chance.

UPDATE: Long paragraph broken in two to clarify statment.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
