I hope this helps explain what I am trying to do...

My first foreach ($line) collects a row of data from a file. The second foreach ($line) reformats the first "cell" (for lack of a better word) into a new date/time format.


By using the seek function I was attempting to append to the end of the file instead of overwriting it. What is the correct way to do this?


Included in my code I have this line: 
$fh = IO::File->new_tmpfile or die "Unable to make new temp file: $!";

Does this put the contents of the file in $fh or is it just pointing to the file? Because this is a randomly generated file, I want to be able to access the file using a variable since I don't know the name of the temp file. How can I do this and be able to display what is in the file?
