The code you send doesn't really make any sense, but if I understand =
your question you want to append to the file rather than overwrite a =
file.  If that's the case you want >> at the start of your filename, =
like this:

open FILEHANDLE, ">>$filename";

I've got a guest book  that erases an old entry when writing to the =
file. How can I write to the file without erasing. Below is the writing =
routine:


open (SAVEFILE,$outputstore);
$num =3D 0;
while (<SAVE7FILE>) {
if ($num <=3D ) {
print NEWFILE $_;
}
++$num;
}
close(SAVEFILE);
close(NEWFILE);
unlink ($outputstore);
}

TIA
