Hello All, I have a perl script to search string in a file and then request input from STDIN and then replace that string with the new input.The script works, but I just cant see to get the search and replace part right, I got an error saying file only open for reading, and now when I try to open it for appending , it just wont run 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

my ($found, $pass, $name, $line, @array, @sarray, @files, @names, @pas
+sword);

my $filename='/home/stain/Downloads/REMOTEopen.xml';
        open(XML, "+>> $filename") || die ("Error: $!");

        chomp(@array=<XML>);
foreach(@array)
{

        @sarray=split(" ", $_);



                                 @names = grep /\bName=/, @sarray;
                                 @password = grep /\bPassword=/, @sarr
+ay;

                        if  (@password)
                        {
                                foreach(@names, @password)
                                {
 
                                 print XML qq(Enter the plain text pas
+sword for $_, password is currently "$password[0]"\n);
                                  chomp($pass=<>);
                                 print qq(You will now swap $password[
+0] for Password="$pass"\n);
                                        print "continue? y/n\n";
                                        chomp(my $ans=<>);
                                                if ($ans =~/y/im)
                                                {
                                                s/$password[0]/Passwor
+d=$pass/ ;
                                                print XML $_;
                                                        }



                                 }
