Someone very helpfully off-list pointed out that instead of
YAML::DumpFile, I should use the YAML::Dump method, which serialises
to a $string, which can then manually be written to a file, and
flock() employed.

Thought I should add the answer to the archive for anyone who may have
this question in the future.
