What happened to the January Meeting?


I'm writing a script that requires locking a file before writing to it, 
and I decided to check CPAN to see if there are any goodies to take care 
of this for me.  A search for 'flock' yielded:

module                 ( dist                   updated     )
-------------------------------------------------------------
IO::File::flock        ( IO-File-flock-0.10     26 Apr 2004 )
IO::File::flock        ( IO-File-Lockable-0.31  16 Jul 2004 )
IO::LockedFile::Flock  ( IO-LockedFile-0.23     20 Feb 2003 )
File::Flock            ( File-Flock-104.111901  19 Nov 2004 )


Anyone have any experience with any of the above, and want to recommend 
one?  Incidentally, this is why I think a CPAN wiki would be neat.  :)
