JWK> There are a few ways to do what you require:
and you missed the simplest one so far (i did mention edit_file):
JWK> #!/usr/bin/perl
JWK> use strict;
JWK> use warnings;
use File::Slurp qw( edit_file ) ;
edit_file { s/Dood/Dude/g } $file ;
and if you need a counter:
my $change_cnt ;
edit_file { $change_cnt = s/Dood/Dude/g } $file ;
$change_cnt ||= 0 ;
print "made my $change_cnt ;
JWK> tie my @buffer, 'Tie::File', 'data.txt' or die "Cant open data.txt $!";
JWK> for ( @buffer ) {
JWK> s/Dood/Dude/ and last;
JWK> }
JWK> __END__
JWK> #!/usr/bin/perl
JWK> use strict;
JWK> use warnings;
JWK> local ( $^I, @ARGV ) = ( '', 'data.txt' );
JWK> while ( <> ) {
JWK> ?Dood? && s/Dood/Dude/;
JWK> print;
JWK> }
JWK> __END__
JWK> #!/usr/bin/perl
JWK> use strict;
JWK> use warnings;
JWK> use Fcntl ':seek';
JWK> open my $FP, '+<', 'data.txt' or die "Cant open data.txt $!";
JWK> read $FP, my $buffer, -s $FP or die "Cant read from data.txt $!";
JWK> seek $FP, 0, SEEK_SET or die "Cant seek on data.txt $!";
JWK> $buffer =~ s/Dood/Dude/;
JWK> print $FP $buffer;
JWK> __END__
