Greetings Perl Listers,
          I'm trying to write a program in which I
will be updating an employee database( a flat file
here)., with Employee Id as the key.

       For the sake of simplicity , assuming that the
fields are like
<EmpId> <Salary>
<EmpIe2> <Salary2>
......
.....
Can somebody help me finding out how does the code
look like , if I've to do something like..

if( record with EmpId exists ) {
       update with the new input
} else {
        insert the new record at the end of the input
}

Thanks for your help
Bhanu.
