while(FD)

Hi,
Edward: Your script doesn't work, as you are only opening the file in

If you want a quick'n'easy one liner, then use -i:
-i[extension] edit files in place (makes backup if extension supplied)
Your one liner would look like:

PS:
The Perl Cookbook (May 1999 edition) describes all three of the
techniques properly in recipe 7.8, 7.9 and 7.10. I recommend the
cookbook if you don't already have it.
