How can you prevent multiple simultaneous file access ?

I looked at source code for a perl script a while back and it included a
function called flock() which allowed you to lock a file so that it cant be
opened for reading two or more times at the same time.

Can something like this be done in REBOL ?

I plan to write some cgi scripts and if a data file tries to get read and
written at the same time by a couple of instances of the script Im worried
of possible corruption.

Ive been lurking here for a while now and still new to REBOL - not like
other languages Ive learnt in the past, but could be the most useful and
quickest for some tasks in my opinion :)
