Why bother with reading the file in again and again?? Just do this
1)Open a file, create if necessary, read contents into @original array 2)Prints you name into the file every time someone presses "enter", AND appends to @original 3)Print a newline 4)Seek to the beginning of the file without closing the file NOT NEEDED 5)Print the file to STDOUT. NOT NEEDED, just print the contents of @original. This is the data from the file, plus any new data that's been added while the script was running.
