i always had trouble doing this in perl- just worked around it- then realized that this shouldn't be hard when reading your post... so i played...
$s = "I am Perl guru";
$new_s = ($s =~ s/erl/ython/);
print "$s \t $new_s \n"; #oops! Prints I am a Python guru 1"
#but....
($new_s = $s) =~ s/erl/ython/;
print "$s \t $new_s \n";
#prints I am a Perl guru I am a Python guru
Perl can be surprisingly intuitive- using precedence rules to get this done makes good sense to me :)
Huh? Remark, no addition modules.
*shrug* eh- go figure
