Well then, pretty obviously, the "..." in my post would in your case
be a s/// operation, wouldn't it? What's the issue here? If the
string does not match ://, then do a search-and-replace.

This is gobbeldy-gook that makes no sense. You cannot "negate the
match itself". In a search-and-replace, you tell Perl *what* you want
to match and replace it with. You've not done that.
