Thanks A,

My mistake, Apologies and suggestions considered. Let me give you all a
brief scenario of what my intentions are.

What i am trying to do is,i have to run multiple perl programmes all at once
to change the contents of a text file. and the text file would contain 2
things. Test name and status. So as i run multiple perl programmes, i want
each prgm to read single line at once and check the status. if the status is
pending , change status to inprogress execute that line, and then change the
status to done and come out of the programme, else skip to the next line
till it finds pending. Just wanted to make sure, this would give access
denied error, as the file would be used by another programmes.

Hope that helps.

SSK

Hi All,
I have a query in Perl. IS it possible for me to access and modify a single
text file through PERL programmes. Can you please provide pointers on how to
achieve this.

Regards,
SSK
