Thanks cbkihong,

Its exactly what I was looking for. Although I understand the piece where you concatenate the string "COMMENT ;" to the existing lines after filtering unwanted lines, what is the logic that you are using to filter the lines that start with PKZIP,Copyright and Viewing?

The other question that I have is that how can I use a variable that holds the name of the logfile instead of hardcoding the line

Code:
open FILE, ">>file.txt" or die "cannot open file for writing";

Thanks for your help.
