Hi,
The tests for File::Data fail[3] on Solaris [1]. I think this is
because you assume that flock locks against yourself: the attached test
program shows that this is not true for Solaris, but is true for
RedHat[2], and FreeBSD-6.
I presume that this is because on solaris perl uses fcntl to emulate
flock (and missess, slightly), but I haven't really looked into that.
I'm not sure what the right fix here is, to be honest... any ideas?
[1] Solaris-10-i386, Solaris-9-sparc, Solaris-10-sparc, Solaris-8-sparc,
& Solaris-9-i386. Didn't try Solaris-7 or earlier, nor Solaris-11.
[2] redhat-3as-ia32 redhat-el4-i386 redhat-3fc-i386 redhat-fc4
redhat-fc5-i386 & redhat-fc6-i386
