I want to get the row and col in number where the filehandle has written,

There are no rows and columns in a file, just a stream of bytes.

is it possible to get the values? ,

You can get the byte position of the file pointer with:

perldoc -f tell

another how can I force fully move the
position of curser so that it writes on/from row,col I want

You can set the position of the file pointer with:

perldoc -f seek
