No, you've got a destruction going on. Consider:
- process 1 opens for create - file deleted
- process 1 flocks - and continues
- process 1 writes its data
- process 2 opens for create - blam, process 1 data is gone
- process 1 closes, releasing the flock
- process 2 flocks - and continues
- process 2 writes its data
- process 2 closes
I guess if your goal is to have only the most recent data, you've succeeded, but you didn't need to do the flock for that... you can just leave the flocks entirely out.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
