in thread Using Win32::OLE and Excel - Tips and Tricks
Thanks for your response.
I tried your code and it's not bad but not exactly what I expected. Instead of showing an error-message if the file is opened the program waits until the file is getting closed. That is not bad, but kind of useless for my problem.
I am sure we are pretty near to a solution, so can somebody tell me how it works - please ;)
Best regards,

See the flock documentation to check the various (and numerous) available flags, there is probably one of them that'll do what you want :) BTW you really should have posted this in its own thread, because it's a problem completely unrelated to the scope of this tutorial. | [reply] |

For those of you who are interessted in the topic. I solved the problem by myself.
sysopen(FH, $file, O_WRONLY|O_EXCL) or die $!;
works fine for me and it even works if the file is opened via a shared folder.
Finally I want to apologize for my offtopic-postings. I thougt the "fileInUse"-check would be possible with a Win32::OLE-function and because of that I posted here and did not create a new thread. I hope I will do better in future.
