questions on G.P. { General Principle }

and would prefer to be of assistance 'debugging' questions.

what you are looking for is either

        perldoc -f tie

for how to use a tie function

        perldoc -f open

so what you will want to do is become at home with

        perldoc perl

and how to scoot around perl's internal documentation.

For what it is worth feel free to read a bit of the
stuff that I have plonked up on my webPages - as you
can help me sort out what order it might best be in...
