how to append to the start of a file? 1

[ailse]

Hi,

I have some xml that I am processing using XML::Simple - my problem is that I am working with XML that needs two tags appending to the top and bottom of the document:

my original file:

<a tag>
</a tag>

<a tag>
</a tag>

what it should look like:

<master tag>

<a tag>
</a tag>

<a tag>
</a tag>

</master tag>

if i open the xml file for writing then ">>" will only append to the end of the file, so how can i stick the text to the start of the file as well?

any help greatly appreciated

You could use Tie::File.
