Hmmm... I must have forgotten to deal with this, or not decided on the
best answer. I'll try to get something done for the next major release,

Probably try to use the CPAN locking module if it's available, if not then
do something per-recognised-OS, or die horribly if OS not recognised.

I have a whole bunch of documentation that I gathered last time I looked
at this, with the correct struct for several OS. Maybe I didn't commit
anything because it wasn't tested enough or something. Anyway, I'll have
another look.


Cheers,


Nick
