my perl program :
use Data::Dumper;
use Tie::File;
tie my @array, 'Tie::File', 'ala.txt' or die $!;
my $rec = 'p:                                        [email protected]';
my $flag =1 ;
my $add_flag = 0;
for my $i (0..$#array) {
        next if ($array[$i] =~ /^\s*$/);
        if ( $flag == 1 )  {
                if ($array[$i] =~ /#START HERE/ ) {
                  $flag = 0;
                }
                else {
                  next ;
                }
        }
    if (($array[$i] cmp $rec) == 1) {
           splice @array, $i, 1, $rec;
          $add_flag = 1;
        last ;
    }
}
if ( $add_flag == 0 ) {
   my $index = $#array+1;
   $array[$index] = $rec ;
}
