$ /opt/perl/5.8.0-RC3/bin/perldoc -q 'delete a line'
Found in /opt/perl/5.8.0-RC3/lib/5.8.0-RC3/pod/perlfaq5.pod
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?
Use the Tie::File module, which is included in the
standard distribution since Perl 5.8.0.
The Tie::File module should be available on
CPAN as well.
However, since you have a small database, I would use any
of the DBM modules that come with Perl. This is the perfect
task for them.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
