packetstormer has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello Monks,

Would anyone know how, or if, File::Copy deals with open/in use files - specifically on a Windows OS? I am creating an app to backup files/folders but I am concerned about files that are locked or in use.

Has anyone any suggestions?
