File in perl

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

How can i specify file encoding for a file opened in appending mode

open(DA,">:encoding(UTF-8)","$file") || print "Can't Open File. Try ch
+mod 777 citydata directory<br><br>";
print DA $data;
close(DA);

This will create file with utf 8 encoding but i want to open file in append mode thanks
