I am trying to run a perl program against file which has hard link to another file.
I thought I could do below and change both but I cannot and both file is getting emptied out
Is this my lack of unix or perl?
~/script/perl/temp@myserver >ls -li done.txt*
     35466 -rw-rw-r--   2 xmen    xmen          54 Aug  7 17:51 done.t
+xt
     35467 -rw-rw-r--   1 xmen    xmen          0 Aug  7 17:51 done.tx
+t2
     35466 -rw-rw-r--   2 xmen    xmen          54 Aug  7 17:51 done.t

}
