[Bioperl-l] SeqIO File locking

[James Thompson]

Dave,

If your program is the only way that these files can be modified, try using
flock (perldoc -f flock). File locking is something that can vary depending
on your platform of choice, so be sure to read the documentation thoroughly.

Cheers, 

James Thompson
