should be:
$doc =~ s/      /111111/;               #don't forget the "$"


Also, try
$doc =~ tr/      /111111/;

Being a newbie myself, I stumbled across the realization that if 
substitution fails, try the translation (tr) and vice versa.
Don't know why it works sometimes, but it does.

Hope this works/helps.
