I am using a flatfile database and i need to make certain parts of this database return back to 0 at a certain time. For an example say this is a just one of the multiple .txt files:
Grant
9
8
7

So to access this is I would open it using the file handle PERSON and then get the information into an array like so:
@cinfo = <PERSON>;
this would make $cinfo[0] = Grant and $cinfo1 = 9.

Now I need to make $cinfo1 = 0 in ALL of the .txt files in that directory. Any suggestions??

P.S. - As you may of noticed from the message i am relatively new to the world of perl and so any help would be greatly appriciated.
