Hello,
How can I insert string after line number n? I have to insert string
after "//StartHere".
I know I could do this in awk but I already started
with Perl. I'm not asking for specific answer but an idea
or alorithm would be good starting with which functions
I can use to start.

For example I have a file that has:
....
this is a test.
And << >> another test;

(and maybe ;; // ##);
//

//StartHere
(insert strings here)
(and here)
(and here)
(and so on)
(depending how many)
.....

Thanks.

Please read the Perl FAQ *before* asking hundreds of people around the
world to read it to you.

$ perldoc -q insert

How do I change one line in a file/delete a line in a
file/insert a line in the middle of a file/append to the
beginning of a file?
