Isn't there a perl function to test if a file is already open? I could have sworn I used one called "isopen()" or "ifopen()" .... -or- am I getting confused with a similar function in C?
If there isn't such a function, how would one test if a file is already open?
If you don't mind using the IO::Handle module then it provides an 'opened' method. Otherwise you may want to have a look at its source, or check out
perldoc -f fileno
Which is all the 'opened' method does...
