that means append_file can be used. to correct one thing i forgot in my
other post, you need to set binmode => ':raw' for that to work on
windows due to line endings. so this (again rough code) should be close
to what is needed:
append_file( $file, { binmode => ':raw' }, compress $append_text ) ;
that assumes compress is an imported gzip function. edit as needed.
