Exclusive Lock of file?

I am working on a perl script that will move files after they have been
uploaded via FTP.

I have found that while a file is still in the process of being uploaded, I
can move, rename, and even delete it. When we did this on NT, opening with
an exclusive lock was an effective way to make sure the file was done.
Doesn't seem to be the case with Perl & Tru64 5.1.

Any suggestions?
