Here's what I use for problems like this:

$mystuff= $formdata{'mine'}; 
$inputstuff = $formdata{'inputtext'}; 
open (LOG, "stuff.txt") || &ErrorMessage;
@data = <LOG>;
close (LOG);

open (LOG, ">stuff.txt") || &ErrorMessage;
print LOG "String or whatever to write to the top of the file";
foreach (@data) {
	print LOG $_;
}
close(LOG);
