Damn. I never thought about that. Just checked config.h in my Perl build
directory, and under Linux it uses flock(). What threw me is that this
works fine under AIX 4.1.x with both AFS and NFS v3 mounts. I'll log into
my box at work and find out what AIX perl actually translates 'flock'
into. We use locking between TclX and Perl code all the time without
problems...
