in thread File::Copy - locked files

Agreed!

What about files that are in use though, continually (or close to). Is there any accepted method for dealing with this type of thing? Suppose it's a small Access database with a lock on it (in use by a Windows service that is always running!). Is there any shadowing copying libraries for Perl!?
