Hello, Am trying to read and write into a same file. I used the following method for opening a file to read and write. 
open '+<', '<file.txt';

[download]
Assume that the file has the following content, 
1
2
3
4
5

[download]
I want to make it to this way 
1
two
hi hello
3
4
5

[download]
I followed this way, 
open FH, '+<file.txt';

while (<FH>)  {
        print $_;
        if ( /^2/ )  {
        print FH "two\nhi hello\n";
        }
}

[download]
but which removes all the following lines and makes the file like this, 
1
2
two
hi hello

[download]
What is the issue ? So i would like to know what is the best method to read and write in to the same file.
