Re: insert into beginning of file

[Abigail-II]

Use Tie::File.

Supplementary to Abigail-II's advice here's example code of how you might insert a line into the beginning of a file using Tie::File

use strict;
use Tie::File;

tie(my @fl, 'Tie::File', 'somefile.txt') or die("ack - $!");
unshift @fl, 'a line of text here';
untie @fl;

If you're not doing line-based insertion into your file then your best choice is to open a new file and write to that.

When using Tie::File, I get the following error: Can't locate Tie/File.pm Is this because I don't have the latest version of Perl?

You will need to install the module. Check out A Guide to Installing Modules by tachyon.
