Thanks for the response, but i have tried with the given solution but getting error during while condition. Plse check the below ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 
use strict;
use warnings;

my $file = 'aaa.txt';

if ( !-e $file || -z $file )
{
open( my f1,'>', $file ) or die "unable to open output log file: $resu
+lts. Error: $!\n";

    print James|chicago "\n";

close( $f1 ); #close output file handle

}
else
{
open( my $f2, '+>>', $file ) or die "unable to open output log file: $
+results. Error: $!\n";

while (<$f2>)
{
    print "test2";
        chomp $_;
            @fields = ();
            @fields = split ('\|', $_);
            $flag = $fields[0];
    

if ( $flag eq inputdata ) -> comes from input file

{
    print already $inputdata exists"\n";
        $exitCode = 0;

}
else
{
    # prints the next line of the sync edit results
    Add the data to the existing file
    $exitCode = 0;

}
}
seek $data, 0, SEEK_SET;
close( $f2 ); #close output file handle
}
