THanks,
I tried substituting:
flock(WRITE_COMMENT, (LOCK_EX() || die("cannot lock comment file: $!")));
to no avail. THe file has been previously opened (for reading) and
then closed after, prior to being opened by another sub for
appending. The code I used to append worked as part of a stand-alone
program but not when incorporated into the main program as a sub so I
assume the problem is in the way in which I am passing data.
Cheers
Francesco
