Locking the file is not necessary when reading only, and
when writing only if there is a possibility of more than
one write happening simultaneously (as in the case of a
cgi script or multi-user environment) If you are the only
person using your script, or if it is a standalone script
that only runs on one machine, locking is not necessary.
