Possible to insert a few lines of code into a file at a specific point?

Hi Folks -

How would I go about inserting a chunk of lines (3) into a specific portion of a file?

The background is I have a script (non shell) that it executed daily, however on Sundays, I uncomment a section of code so that piece can be run as well.

So I was hoping to write a piece of code to insert the 3 lines into this particular file every Sunday, and remove when complete.

Is this possible?

The lines are as follows:
Code:
execute calculation  'lawson'.'cslaw_r'.'aggasc';

export database 'dailyinv'.'dailyinv' using server report_file 'oracle' to data_file '/hypbin/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/epmsystem1/EssbaseServer/essbaseserver1/app/new_inv/new_inv/oracle1.txt';

export database 'lawson'.'cslaw_r' using server report_file 'oracle' to data_file '/hypbin/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/epmsystem1/EssbaseServer/essbaseserver1/app/new_inv/new_inv/oracle2.txt';

Can I put two commented out identifiers in the script that says place code between these? and then delete lines between these when finished?

Thanks!

Plack::Middleware::StackTrace(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation			Plack::Middleware::StackTrace(3pm)

NAME
Plack::Middleware::StackTrace - Displays stack trace when your app dies SYNOPSIS
enable "StackTrace"; DESCRIPTION
This middleware catches exceptions (run-time errors) happening in your application and displays nice stack trace screen. The stack trace is also stored in the environment as a plaintext and HTML under the key "plack.stacktrace.text" and "plack.stacktrace.html" respectively, so that middleware futher up the stack can reference it. This middleware is enabled by default when you run plackup in the default development mode. You're recommended to use this middleware during the development and use Plack::Middleware::HTTPExceptions in the deployment mode as a replacement, so that all the exceptions thrown from your application still get caught and rendered as a 500 error response, rather than crashing the web server. Catching errors in streaming response is not supported. CONFIGURATION
force enable "StackTrace", force => 1; Force display the stack trace when an error occurs within your application and the response code from your application is 500. Defaults to off. The use case of this option is that when your framework catches all the exceptions in the main handler and returns all failures in your code as a normal 500 PSGI error response. In such cases, this middleware would never have a chance to display errors because it can't tell if it's an application error or just random "eval" in your code. This option enforces the middleware to display stack trace even if it's not the direct error thrown by the application. no_print_errors enable "StackTrace", no_print_errors => 1; Skips printing the text stacktrace to console ("psgi.errors"). Defaults to 0, which means the text version of the stack trace error is printed to the errors handle, which usually is a standard error. AUTHOR
