You've solved a non-trivial problem in a trivial fashion. That's bound to cause problems. Running a blind sed on your
perl code is inadvisable, to say the least. There's no way
for either of your examples to *not* make an inappropriate
change in comments, pod, or any string that happens to
contain 'and': Both of your examples will re-write that as: Plus, there might be other programmers working on the project that don't have this and and && confusion. As you've already realized, there's no quick fix for the OP. Either examine each file, or put a bit more time into writing a smarter parser. I did ++ you for having one saving grace: re-writing the code to temp files rather than over the original code, and keeping the original stuff around. I know that this is stuff you already realized - but there's a few other replies similar to yours, and I happened to choose yours to reply to :)
