in thread "Updating" files.

I just tried the following and still no dice ...

open ZIP, ">myinfo.txt";
$^I = "myinfo.txt.bak";

while( <> ) {
    s/^Author:.*/Author: Johnny5/;
    s/^Phone:.*\n//;
    print;
}

close ZIP;

    Perhaps it would help if you would (a) Open the file in read mode, and (b) use your file handle!
