in reply to updating to a file

Simply open the file in append mode: 
if (open (my $fh, '>>', "manager.properties"))
{
  print $fh "test\n";
  close ($fh);
}

    That solves only the overwrite problem. Appending to a file doesn't solve the update problem. For that, you need inplace edit (as GrandFather shows), or via a Tie to the file. But then, a different data structure would be more suitable.
