Yes, use flock. And strict, warnings and 3-argument open. Some sample locking code follows. Adjust according to your needs.

use strict; use warnings; use Fcntl ':flock'; # import LOCK_* constants open(my $fhlock, '>', $somelockfile) or die "Error: open '$somelockfil +e': $!"; # Note: process will block at this point until the lock is acquired. flock($fhlock, LOCK_EX) or die "Error: flock '$somelockfile': $!"; # Lock is now held until $fhlock is closed. # Note that even if this program crashes or is killed, $fhlock will # be closed by the OS and the lock released. # ... # Release the lock simply by closing the file handle. close $fhlock or die "Error: close '$somelockfile': $!";

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
