Hi I’m quite new to Perl so my knowledge is a little grey in most areas. I have a problem with a script I’m attempting to write. I have created two subroutines which opens two Arrays in order to replace some text within the selected files. The script runs fine and all the files are updated but I get the following error message. "Filehandle STDOUT reopened as MYFILE only for input at vpenv line 44" I can't work out why. 
#Updates web_setup
sub vpenv {
open(MYFILE, "$location/$dir/$site/$vpfile") || die "Unable to open fi
+le: $!";
my @stuff=<MYFILE>;
$stuff[0]="setenv DSCUSTOMER $db\n";
         $stuff[1]="setenv DSSITENO $sno\n";
         $stuff[2]="setenv DSCUSTID $sid\n";
open STDOUT, ">$location/$dir/$site/$vpfile" || die "Unable to Write t
+o file: $!
";
print @stuff;
close(STDOUT);
close(MYFILE);
}

#Updates database.form
sub vpdb {
open(MYFILE, "$location/$dir/$site/$vpdir/$vpdata") || die "Unable to 
+Open File: $
!";
      my @thing=<MYFILE>;
         $thing[0]=".ARG DATABASE $db\n";
open STDOUT, ">$location/$dir/$site/$vpdir/$vpdata" || die "Unable to 
+Write to Fil
e: $!";
print @thing;
close(STDOUT);
close(MYFILE);
}
&vpenv;
&vpdb;
