An alternative might be a tied hash, where the key is the email address.

Subject: simple file question
Hello everyone,
I have a variable $myvar (an email address), and I would like to open a
simple text file which contains email addresses (one on each line) and check
to see if the address in $myvar is in there, if it is not, then append it o
the end of the file, and if it is, then close the file and carry on with the
rest of the script.
I have tried using while (<FILEHANDLE>){},
but I am not really sure what to put in the brackets?
Thanks as always,
Chris.
