Don't have perl on this computer, but give this a go.

perl -p -e '$_ = "New line 9" if $. == 9' filename.txt

hi..
Thanks a lot Ross Leishman
but that is in command line.. It works well..
but can u write perl script by opening a file..
after executing the script there should be permanent change in the file..
the command line execution changes only in the output but after opening the file there is no change.

Thanks n Regards
sunanda
