Perl Confirmation Code Generation

Unknown

Heres what I wanna do...

I want to open a file that has one number in it, take that number and increment it, and then write it back to the same file -- overwriting the existing number.

heres the code i have written so far, but this is obviously not working..

#!c:perlinperl.exe -w

open(CONFIRM,"confirmation") or die "Could not generate a confirmation number for you at this time.";

while($line=){

$number=$line;

print CONFIRM $number;

}

I think I am just opening the file wrong.. what do you think?
