db under solaris

Hi David,

I use perl4 (GNU FSFperl package) on Solaris 2.4 and I have changed all the
SOCK_STREAM's, but what's about the flock() function?? This function is
available only on SunOS and BSD-style machines. At this moment, I am trying to
emulate this function whith calls to fcntl().

Also, I have try to compile Perl4 whit /usr/ucblib/libucb but this an
impossible task. I have read in the Perl4 FAQ's that it is better to forget
about BSDism's like that :-(.

If anyone know more about this matter, I will be happy to hear him.


Regards,

Jose Sanchez-Seco.
