in thread Error in CGI::Session on Windows: flock() not implemented

According to perlport, seems to be. I don't think windows supports flock until you get into the NT's (2000, XP, etc).

For the time being, you could add the following code to your script to override flock. (NOTE: Only do this for when you run on Windows 98 as the locks are very important with a filesystem that allows concurrent access to files).

BEGIN { *CORE::GLOBAL::flock = sub { return 1; } }

Note: Updated code.

    Thanks a lot for your help on this.

    By commenting the flock() function, I was able to get this working.
