Hi, I cannot use the latest CPAN (1.90) due to linux file locking issues over NFS. I had to revert to (1.8802). Luckily had it on disk at another site. Tim

Re: flock fails on linux (redhat) over NFS

As a note, I was able to get "GDS2" module going as it had a somewhat hidden wrap around all flock calls which could be switched off in the GDS2.pm via a constant. I still do not know exactly why linux (this version) cannot handle file locking over nfs. Tim
