No.

Correct.

It is not so much that it is unimplemented in MacPerl; it is unimplemented
in Mac OS.  For something similat to flock(), you can use the FSpSetFLock()
and FSpRstFLock() functions in the Mac::Files module.  These are similar in
concept, but different from, flock() under Unix.  But they should give you
what you want.
