in reply to Appending to a file.

Take a look at the following options:

Tie::File, which lets you treat a file just like an array.

perlvar on $^I for how to make Perl edit a file in-place.

Reading about the tie:file makes some sense. It looks like the array addresses the memory location of the file and it works the same as an array. I don't have any clue what push, new recs...., pop, unshift, shift, or splice do.

Mitigating cluelessness.
That's what Perl's documentation is there for.

• push
• "new recs"? Perhaps you'd better re-read what puzzled you in the first place so you can quote it accurately.
• pop
• unshift
• shift
• ...and for splice... try Super Search with splice as your argument... or read a primer such as "Learning Perl."
