Writing to file

[Support]

Hi all
I have a little bit of code you may be able to help with. I load a file into an array with

foreach $lines(@database_array) {
                @edit_array = split(/\:/,$lines);
                push(@member_array,[EMAIL PROTECTED]);
                $x++;
                }   #loop

and then play around with the array a bit, then I would like to load it back into the file with

while($count<$x){       
$newline = join("\:",$member_array[$count],[EMAIL PROTECTED]);
chomp($newline);
print DAT "$newline\n";
$count++;
}

but I can not retrieve the data into $newline with join. Is this bit wrong

$member_array[$count],[EMAIL PROTECTED])

or am I missing the point completely or is there another way of doing it.
I am currently loading direct from the file working on that line and them loading back to file, but I can only change one line at a time. Doing it with as above I can alter the entire array and then load back to file.
Any help is appreciated and please excuse if I'm in the wrong forum.
Cheers
Colin
