There are some ways to do this, but they don't apply to all instances.
Really, you're usually better off just writing your changes to a temp
file and then replacing your original file. Most methods that seem to
accomplish what you are asking for really just do this in the background
anyway.
Thanks Tim..

Hi,
is there a method to _/directly/_ make:
while ( FIN)
{
$_ =~ s//x/g;
}
modify FIN?!
i.e., I need to make modifications in the same file I read from.
Thanks And Regards,
Eliyah
yeah, I do this often right at the command line:
perl -pi.bak -e
