-You can pass C<lock()> an optional argument, which specifies which mode to use
-(exclusive or shared). Use one of these two constants:
-C<DBM::Deep-E<gt>LOCK_EX> or C<DBM::Deep-E<gt>LOCK_SH>. These are passed
-directly to C<flock()>, and are the same as the constants defined in Perl's
-L<Fcntl> module.
