This suggests doing it in an eval (so the error message gets trapped) and
testing the result, but that seems like a complicated solution for a simple

Thanks very much in advance.
have you looked at say
perldoc IO::Handle
eg:
$io->opened
Returns true if the object is currently a valid file descriptor,
false otherwise.
The perldoc IO::File is a subclass of IO::Handle...
