If I want to use file(myfile.txt) and myfile.txt gets written to (flocked)
frequently, what is the best approach?

Should I try to get a lock on myfile.txt before using file(myfile.txt)?

What I'm thinking is something like this:

try a few times to pull the file into an array

if you can, then do this

if not, die

Other ideas?

Thanks in advance.
