New To Perl :- Help with "rename" and "File locking"

Hello,
And Thank you for taking time to help me.Myself Hugz.I am new to
perl and want to write my own Scripts.But i can't understand how perl
"rename" function and "file locking" works.

Actually i am running a WinME with ActivePerl 5.8.0, what i want to
know is

1.What do you mean by "file creation (and deletion) is not atomic over
NFS" ?
2.What is NFS?
3.How do lock a File under Windows/Unix/Linux ?
4.How do you rename a file reliably on Windows/Unix/Linux ?
5.Why can't i use the following code to lock files ?

sleep(3) while -e "file.lock" ; # PLEASE DO NOT USE
open(LCK, "> file.lock"); # THIS BROKEN CODE

Please help me in any possible way.

Thank You.

Hi All I am working on a site that has a large amount of common html on all its web pages. I am looking for a way to place this in a single file so, if changes are made, I can change this single file and do not have to change each and every page. I have the Java scripting in a common .Js file but have not been able to find a way to do this with my html content.

Hi, I'm trying to strip the html and other useless junk from a html page.. Id like to create something like an automated text editor, where it takes the keywords from a txt file and removes them from the html page (replace the words in the html page with blank space) I'm new to python and could use a little push in the right direction, any ideas on how to implement this? Thanks!

Hello guys, I've been searching for a method to hide the console (as c/c++ user would say) under windows, but i found nothing really helpful. What I found is: 1) I need to rename file as pyw.

Is there another simpler method to tell python that my main window is the frame and not the console? I'm...
