in reply to Testing for open filehandles
Thanks to all respondents!
It has been a rough Monday. I am dissecting a script written (what seems like) many eons ago.
I figured out how to test for Open database handles.
1.) using DBI::ODBC if ($dbh->{state} == 1){it's open}
2.) using WIN32::ODBC if ($db->Connection > 0){it's open}
The filehandles were eluding me at that point.
