Hi, I am a perl newbie and found a perl module to access dbf file in prev thread. I have a dbf file and I am writing a perl script to access it.. my $comments; 
while ($i<=$rdb->last_record)
{
    my @data = $rdb->get_record($i,"X", "Y");
## Step 1 = if X<20, good comments
if($data[1]<20)
    {
        $comments = "Good";
    $wdb->set_record($i,$data1[1],$data1[2],$comments);
    }
#############
    else if($data1[1]>19)
    {
        if ($data1[]>5)
            {
                $counter++;
                    ???
}
    }

##if X>19, move through the records till Y>5 exists and keep counting. If the counter is greater than ten, set comments as bad , else set comments as worse.I am confused at this step as to how to wdb->set_record? after we check the counter. Please help
