Can anyone tell me if it is possible to determine open files for a process 
without running my program as root?

Actually, here is what I am trying to accomplish:

I am trying to obtain the path and name of a file which is being piped by 
another command to my perl program.  This first command is being executed 
from within a third-party software package for the purpose of "printing" a 
report.  I would like something that is portable among different unix 
flavors and is not dependent on something like 'lsof', if possible.

Thank you in advance for any help.
Ed
