No, because that's not what "append mode" means. To insert data anywhere but at the end, you have to rewrite the file contents from the point of insertion forward. Or, you need to write the new data plus the old file contents to a temporary file and then move it back over the old file. Jose's Tie::File suggestion is probably the easiest way to go. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
