to avoid a dependency on a non-core Perl module and to unbreak build
farm animals which run OS where File::FcntlLock has not been packaged,
such as OpenBSD and Alpine Linux? but maybe fcntl() has some issues
which File::FcntlLock provided a workaround for.
luckily, installing from CPAN is easy enough (tip: setting environment
PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT=1 avoids all the initial setup questions), so let's
see if that'll make some of those animals green again.
