Check if file is open in unix

[Gopal Karunakar]

Hi All,

    I want to check whether a particular file (a simple text file) is open
in the UNIX environment. i.e. I want to make sure that its not getting
written into by some other process before my Perl process open it. So that
it will always get a complete file. Is there some way of making sure of
this??

Thanks & Regards,

GK.
