use perls in place editor:

http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2004/10/14/file_editing.html

or use Tie::File

http://perldoc.perl.org/Tie/File.html

or open the file for reading, write the changes to a new file, delete the old file and rename the new file with the name of the old file.

It's far easier to help if we can see your code.
