I wanted to build an awesome place for people to discuss module specific issues, but I don't have any more time for this, and there are much better places to discuss Perl-related issues. I'd recommend asking your question on Stack Overflow or on Perl Monks.
If you are looking for a Perl tutorial or Perl-related news, I hope these links will serve you well.

Re: Explorer crashing while writing into XML

What do the logs tell you? As long as you don't look at the error file, your debugging is going to be just taking shots in the dark.

BTW, does flock work on Windows?

The last time I used locking (a while ago), I did not lock the file itself, but used a dedicated lock file:

use Fcntl; my $LOCK_FILE= "db.lock"; open LOCK, ">$LOCK_FILE" || die "Can't open lock file\n"; flock( LOCK, LOCK_EX) || die "Error $ERRNO during lock\n";

Does this help?
