I assume you mean "open a file for both reading and writing", since
the code you posted doesn't do any reading or writing.

Define "didn't seem to work". The file must exist for this open to succeed.
open(FH, '+>>file.txt') will open file for append, creating if necessary,
and allowing read access. But all writes go to end of file.
