I have an existing file, called mockalias that contains entries in the
following format:

username : e-mail address
I want to use a hash %ALIAS to read the mockalias file into the hash, and
then be able to delete,
update, add entries to this hash.  When I run the following code, it tells
me that the file
mockalias exists, and dies.  How can I read the file into a hash and
manipulate the entries 
of the hash?
 
 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI ':standard';
use DB_File;  
$filename = "mockalias";
tie (%ALIAS, "DB_File", $filename) or
                die "cannot open file $filename:$!\n";  
untie %ALIAS; 
 
Thanks in advance for your time.
