Every time what??
I'm not familiar with GQ Basic but there's lots of ways to modify files.
How big is your file?What format?
I'd use File::Slurp. Although you may still be writing the entire file
If you just did
use File::Slurp;
$contents = read_file("myfile.txt");
$contents .= "Here is a new line for my file!\n";
write_file("myfile.txt", $contents);
That script takes not quite one second for a 2.5 megabyte file for me.
If that puts your hosting provider in a pinch then I'd get another hosting provider!!!
