Yes, it is just messier without flock or some similar thing.

Actually, a way you could do it in MacPerl would be to hold the file open
for writing.  That forces it into a systemwide mandatory lock ... except
for the MacPerl program itself.  So it would prevent others from opening it
for writing, but if you are running multiple scripts within MacPerl (say,
when MacPerl has threading), then it might not do anything to prevent other
MacPerl scripts from opening it for writing.
