I'm learning on a win98 machine and my webserver is a unix OS.
win98 doesn't support flock and of course unix does.
How can I code to test if the function is supported? I tried conditionals but it still throws the error.
What conditionals did you try? Some common code (stolen from DBI::File):
my $locking = $^O ne 'MacOS' &&
($^O ne 'MSWin32' || !Win32::IsWin95()) &&
$^O ne 'VMS';if ($locking) {
# do locking here
}Or the other option if flock is calling 'die' is to wrap the construct in an eval and catch the exception, and examine [EMAIL PROTECTED]
perldoc -f eval
