yosefm has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hi, all. I've been trying to do my own file-tying mechanism. Yes, I know that <insert_favorite_module> does that and my laundry too, but how am I ever going to learn anything by using other people's work all the time, eh? My problem right now is this: I'd like to delete a piece of data (say, an XML entity) from the middle of a file. Is there any way of doing that without re-writing the entire file? This just seems too wasteful in disk access times. PS Though I'm looking for a DIY answer, I'll be also hapy to know what modules you are using for this kind of job. Thanks!
