A few notes about your code. Please go over: http://perl.net.au/wiki/Freenode_Sharp_Perl_FAQ And: http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/index.cgi?ancient_perl You need to add strict and warnings and see below: > my %position_counts = ('name' => 'rahul'); > > open(OUT1, ">temp.txt"); > That should be: open my $out1, ">", "temp.txt" or die "Cannot open temp.txt - $!"; > store_fd(\%position_counts, *OUT1) || die "can't store to temp.txt\n"; > > close(OUT1); > > is it possible to change values of my hash "%position_counts" stored in the > file without retrieving it back using "fd_retrieve"?
