I am writing some blog software, but I can't figure out how to write to the beginning of a file, because when I print to the file it always goes at the end. Also, I don't want to overwrite the existing text in the file, I want to insert the new text.Well you can do it the verbose and systematic way:
open file for reading read in all lines close file for reading open file for writing print your new line print all old lines close file for writing...
or check out one of the other approaches,
perldoc -q "append to the beginning"
Or you could open the old file for reading, write to a new file by buffereing rather than storing the whole file in memory, then close the new file and move it to the location of the old file....etc, etc.
