perl file i/o

["shahar shocron" <shachsh@telem.openu.ac.il>]

to all the perl guru's

this one is for you.

I can read and write to and from files just fine.
but when I try to do it at the same run like for updating records in a
file
I get bugs and wierd looking output files.

open(FILE, "+<$file");
while(<FILE>);
 {
    &change_record;
    print FILE $new_record;
 }
close(FILE);

what am I doin'g wrong.

I've read all the books and man pages

will apreciate any help.
