BD::mysql::st execute failed: Lock wait timeout exceeded; Try restarting transaction at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/Test2.pm line 247.

Can someone explain what this error is, what causes it, and how I can go about debugging/fixing it. The file which caused this error to be printed is Test.pm but it calls functions in another file Test2 which is where the 'Lock wait timeout exceeded' msg came from. Test2 does not use any transactions, but Test does. Any help would be appreciated.
