Haven't actually tried this, but here's the idea: reverse the file,
append to the bottom, then reverse it again.
tail -r, if your system supports it, might do the reverse for you.
If not something like $ grep -n "^" yourfile | sort -r -t: +1n | cut -d:
-f2 (again, untested).

i'm surprised Tad didn't mention section 5 of the Perl FAQ which has
the answer to:
How do I change one line in a file/delete a line in
a file/insert a line in the middle of a file/append
to the beginning of a file?
The Perl FAQ is bundled with current releases of Perl and is
also available online through <URL:http://www.perl.com>. although
its answers may be in Perl, one would find that the techniques
can be used in other languages as well.
of course, this seems moot if the original poster doesn't want to
install perl, but then, this is a *perl* newsgroup, so maybe it's
a freudian post.

You might want to look at the LWP modules from CPAN, go to
http://www.perl.com and follow the CPAN links or ftp to ftp.funet.fi and
look under /pub/languages/perl/CPAN (comprehensive perl archive network)
The LWP::Simple module may be a place to start, its documentation starts
like this:
NAME
get, head, getprint, getstore, mirror - Procedural LWP
interface
SYNOPSIS
perl -MLWP::Simple -e 'getprint "http://www.sn.no"'
use LWP::Simple;
$content = get("http://www.sn.no/")
if (mirror("http://www.sn.no/", "foo") == RC_NOT_MODIFIED) {
...
}
if (is_success(getprint("http://www.sn.no/"))) {
...
}
[...]
head($url)
Get document headers. Returns the following values if
successful: ($content_type, $document_length,
$modified_time, $expires, $server)
Returns an empty list if it fails.
Hope this helps,
Mike

Subject: Help Needed modifying a text file using perl
Message-Id: <34984F0D.5417B3FC@bms.com>
Hi..
I am stuck in being able to modify an existing text file using perl.
What I have is a directory of files of the form auto.txt
and the contents of the file look like
<wagon
12948234724232
2121212121298128182182810
what I need to do is change only the very first line of the file from
<wagon to something that would match the existing file name
so for instance
if the test file is currently called
car1245.txt
I would like to have the first line of the car1245.txt file read
<car1245-wagon
instead of it reading
<wagon
as it now does.
these changes would occur for all such named files within the same
directory.
I just can't figure out who to have perl swap out the old line and write
in a new one for me.
Could someone please help me out??.>thanks!!.>Dan

perhaps you wanted to add to the associateive array rather than redefine
it ech time:
$hash{$userid} = $arg;

perhaps you need different books.. "Learning Perl" [1] has a chapter
devoted to hashes. in fact, the first bit of code in that chapter
is the answer to your question.

I am trying to find out the last time a file was modified on unix, and so I
figure that i'd just use the -M file tester built into perl. But this gives me
time in days since last modification, and so i was wondering how I can convert
this to a date field (mm/dd/yy), or if you know of another way to find
this out. Thanks.

-M actually gives you the age of the file in days from the epoch, not the number
of days since the last modification.
Anyway, instead of -M file, use (stat file)[9]. That will give you the age of
the file in seconds from the epoch, which you can use as an argument to localtime().

Only Linux with perl 5.004_04 seems to support in on the UNIX end.
Other versions like Sun OS have man pages and everything, but they

=head2 What's the difference between "perl" and "Perl"?
One bit. Oh, you weren't talking ASCII? :-) Larry now uses "Perl" to
signify the language proper and "perl" the implementation of it,
i.e. the current interpreter. Hence Tom's quip that "Nothing but perl
can parse Perl." You may or may not choose to follow this usage. For
example, parallelism means "awk and perl" and "Python and Perl" look
ok, while "awk and Perl" and "Python and perl" do not.

perl is used to refer to the compiler/interpreter
Perl is used to refer to the language itself
PERL is not used ;-)

perhaps you can share your test script?

I get somewhat ok results with Folkweb. OmniHttpd supports Perl too, as
do a number of similarly toy-like products (see www.tucows.com for a
bunch of Win95 & NT-compatible servers). O'Reilly WebSite is supposed
to support Perl, although the version I tried out way back seemed to
have a bug about HTTP headers and always thinks they're wrong whether
they are or not. . .
Netscape FastTrack supports Perl too, but the beta I have currently
seems to choke on requires . . .
This may be me somehow.

Subject: Writing Of HTML In Perl
Message-Id: <01bd0857$2b6ecaa0$LocalHost@oasis>
Hi,
I will like to findout how I can actually use Perl to write HTML files. It
is just like when someone submit a feedback form. The feedback will be
mailed to the recepient and a copy of the content of the e-mail is also
posted onto the web itself. Subsequently, any additional comments are also
updated in the same html file itself, making the html file something like a
database of comments.
Anyone has any ideas or website where I can reference this to ? ;-)
Thanks for the help.
Regards,
Seng Yip

Administrivia:
The Perl-Users Digest is a retransmission of the USENET newsgroup
comp.lang.perl.misc. For subscription or unsubscription requests, send
the single line:
subscribe perl-users
or:
unsubscribe perl-users
to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu.
To submit articles to comp.lang.perl.misc (and this Digest), send your
article to perl-users@ruby.oce.orst.edu.
To submit articles to comp.lang.perl.announce, send your article to
clpa@perl.com.
To request back copies (available for a week or so), send your request
to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu with the command "send perl-users x.y",
where x is the volume number and y is the issue number.
The Meta-FAQ, an article containing information about the FAQ, is
available by requesting "send perl-users meta-faq". The real FAQ, as it
appeared last in the newsgroup, can be retrieved with the request "send
perl-users FAQ". Due to their sizes, neither the Meta-FAQ nor the FAQ
are included in the digest.
The "mini-FAQ", which is an updated version of the Meta-FAQ, is
available by requesting "send perl-users mini-faq". It appears twice
weekly in the group, but is not distributed in the digest.
For other requests pertaining to the digest, send mail to
perl-users-request@ruby.oce.orst.edu. Do not waste your time or mine
sending perl questions to the -request address, I don't have time to
answer them even if I did know the answer.
