I've been using for a while the locking mechanism for DBM files
described in the Perl Cookbook, recipe 14.5, basically, locking the
filehandle returned by tie:
$db = tie(....)
$fd = $db-fd;
open(DB_FH, "+<&=$fd") or die(...);
flock(DB_FH);
...
But I have read somewhere that this is not really a good idea
(though i forgot why).
