I think it does. I'd have to look through some scripts I have running that I
believe use that. I think it may have more to do with Perl5 than the RAQ.

Here's a snip from one script running with no problems:

			open (FILE,">$adverts_dir/$lockfilename.lok");
			if ($ADVUseLocking) {
				$lockresult = eval("flock(FILE,6)");
				if ($@) {
					$ADVUseLocking = 0;
					last;
				}
