Locking files in Perl/CGI

[Slava]

Hi,

I'd like to know whether I should use 'lock()' function when I use construction dbopen(%hash, DataBase,0666) under multi-tasking enviroment ?? Or Perl's engine does it by itself ??

I am still learning about perl, give me some time and I will find an answer for you.

I talked with Enigma from The Cult Forums She is always a big help when it comes to perl.

Yes you would need to use some kind of locking. For more information you may find this link helpful http://www.perl.com/pub/doc/manual/html/lib/DB_File.html

Thanx Dave, I followed your link and found some usefulinfo. But, in that example is shown using of DB_File structure. I meant using general Perl's DBM file.I've never seen an example of using lock () in DBM file.
I'll try to contact with ENIGMA abt this metter
