I need to be able to move a directory that is being used by another process, and, hence, locked.

I can write a Perl wrapper around TASKLIST.EXE and OH.EXE to find the process that has an open handle on the directory, and then kill the process. However, I am wondering if it is possible to find the open handles of each process using only Perl. Thanks.
