The distribution
Tie-DB_FileLock-0.10
has been tested as part of the cpan-testers effort to test as
many new uploads to CPAN as possible. See
http://www.perl.org/cpan-testers/
Please cc any replies to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to keep other
test volunteers informed and to prevent any duplicate effort.
John, you may want to advise people not to use a db version that
requires this with your module. (1.85?)
Paul, this is a feature request ;-)

Tested with DB_File-1.73 and db-2.7.7.
The module does not work with db-2.7.7 and probably many earlier
versions because multiple process access to db databases requires
a db_env. From the db-2.7.7 manual:
> When sharing a database environment with other processes, it is necessary to
> provide the access methods with database environment information. The db_env
> argument to db_open is intended for this purpose.
DB_File 1.73 passes a NULL pointer to db_open as the db_env argument:
DB_File.xs: status = db_open(name, RETVAL->type, Flags, mode, NULL, openinfo,
&RETVAL->dbp) ;
