My major concern now is what will happen when user interrupted the process in the while..loop when file still open?

open (DATF, "<$file_name");    
while( <DATF> ) {
  #-- do whatever here
  #-- user may interrupt before finishing the while...loop
}
close(DATF);

Should I be worry of this? Currently I'm only using this while...loop method for input only (read). As for writing data, likely data gonna corrupt.

Any suggestions on this? Thanks.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
