[QUOTE="Ben Morrow, post: 4748594"] [this applies much more generally than tied hashes] If anyone is going to be writing, then *everyone* has to lock. Readers lock with LOCK_SH, writers with LOCK_EX. See the documentation for DB_File for some important caveats when locking. If you have control of every program accessing this database, it is probably a better idea to use a lockfile: lock the file before you tie, and untie before you unlock. Ben [/QUOTE]
