Hey Everybody, thanks for the replies... Much Appreciated!

For the questions about any other processes accessing this file... No, no other processes will touch the file. The file
will only be used by my script.

Ok gotcha, I see what you mean about roboticus' example. That makes sense then...

I guess I will do the way I mentioned in my OP. About saving all the file's contents into an array and then modifying the
array and printing that back to the file. I definitely understand how to do it that way.

Also, thanks for the example with the Tie::File module. I have not used that one before, so I'll check out the docs
for that and see how that works.

Thanks again everybody for the replies, very much appreciated!

Thanks Again,
Matt
