Find file is your friend... If you search for "Fcntl", you'll find the
shared library sitting in your auto folder.  Matthias doesn't include the
.xs for this, but if I assume it's the same idea as Socket.xs, which I have
looked at.  It basically just "asks C" when the lib is compiled for the
appropriate numerical values for all the constants, so that it gets them
right for your particular OS.

Go to CPAN and download a copy of the Perl distribution.  It's got to be in
there.  (I'd look, since I compiled _67 yesterday, but that half of my big
drive is impossible to access from MacOS without major messing around, and
Goddard is having network trouble again...)
