See perldoc -q 'in a file'. For one thing, you can't mix reading and
writing like this without getting strange results in your file (unless the
file is of a very specific format). For another, the mode "+>>" sets the
file position to the end of the file, which is almost certainly not what you
intended, because you're reading from the file. Also, the mode "+>>" means
all writes are to the end of the file, regardless of where the current file
position is.
