How do I move two lines up in a file using perl

sabertooth has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi I wanted to know if there is a way in perl to move up and down within a file in perl.

I wanted to parse the file and increment on every matched pattern, also in some cases would move the file pointer up.

Is there a way to do that, just to move the file pointer up and down the file?

Like we told you in you in Initialsing file pointer in the middle of a file., you use the seek function.	[reply]
