assuming files orig.txt and top.add, try
open NEW, ">tmpout$$" or die "$! tmpout$$";
open IN, "top.add" or die "$! top.add";
print NEW while <IN>;
open IN, "orig.txt" or die "$! orig.txt";
print NEW while <IN>;
rename "tmpout$$", "orig.txt" or die "$! rename";
To add datat to the *top* of a file, you have to rewrite the whole
file. That's just the nature of filesystems. You always add data at the
bottom, or overwrite what's there.
Does that help?
