Cool thxz for that!

I was just fumbling around and am testing this code out now and seems to be working for what I need. Thxz anyways for your help will save it; since other ways are always helpful too, thxz.

Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl 
 
use strict; 
use warnings; 
 
use File::Copy; 
for my $i ( 3, 2, 1 ){ 
  if( -e "notes.$i" ){ 
    my $j = $i + 1; 
    move( "notes.$i", "notes.$j" ) or die "Could not move notes.$i to notes.$j: $!\n"; 
  } 
} 
if( -e "notes" ){ 
  move( "notes", "notes.1" ) or die "Could not move notes to notes.1 $!\n"; 
}

NAME

       nfprint - Print the contents of a notesfile

SYNOPSIS

       nfprint [ -p ] [ -l# ] [ -d or -nd ] [ -c ] [ -t ] topic [ note-list ]

DESCRIPTION

       Nfprint	gives  the  user  the ability to print the contents of notesfiles.  Nfprint writes to standard output.	The text is formatted with
       pr(1).  When the -c option is used, the output is filtered through cat(1) instead.

       The -l# parameter specifies the page length to use (66 lines/page is the default).  By specifying -p, the printout is arranged so each base
       note starts on a new page.  The -d and -nd options specify only notes with the director flag on or off respectively are to be printed.  Use
       -t to generate a list of titles only; the text of notes and responses is suppressed.

       The note list is the set of notes which are to be printed.  An example note list is: 1,30-36,13,10,42-50.

FILES

       /bin/pr				  Output filter
       /etc/passwd			  for the users name
       /etc/group			  for the users group(s)
       /usr/spool/notes 		  the default notesfile data base
