checking for an open filehandle?

[Barry Carroll]

Hi, i have this small but of code in a script.

My script opens a file for editing, and assigns 
a filehandle 'TEMPLATE' to it.

I need to check in another part of the script if
it open or closed.

Is this code good enough for doing that job?

        if (!(-e TEMPLATE)) 
        {
                print ("You have not opened a file!\n")
        }
