in reply to writing an organiser in perl

I am familiar with thw language itself but seeing a working program that can do what i need would help me improve my own skills.

(Additional emphasis by me!)

I personally believe that your requirements below would tend to make it hard to believe you actually are...

open different .txt files that are in a specific location

perldoc -f open

be able to append new dates to each copy

Ditto as above, then perldoc -f print, or if really needed, perldoc -f printf

be able to append a warning flag to a certain line and show all flagged lines on command.

On a certain line based on what? Line number? Some criterion?
