[ale] OT: Perl Question

[nomad at rnd-consulting.com (Robert L. Harris)]

We have some transfers being done via ftp.  At any rate, there's
no easy way to get the status of if the transfer is done or not.  Can't 
just watch the size grow and when it stops get it due to network 
latency.  

Is there a form of stat() that will tell me if something has a file
open for writing in perl?   I'm poking around perldoc, etc but
nothing is just jumping out at me.

FYI:
 perl -e 'print $i=pack(c5,(41*2),sqrt(7056),(unpack(c,H)-2),oct(115),10);'
