Solution using Path::Tiny which writes the new file alongside the existing file, then does an atomic rename. See Re^2: Yet another config file editing programme : Tell me how to make it better ! and Re^3: Yet another config file editing programme : Tell me how to make it better !

use strict; # https://perlmonks.org/?node_id=11136353
use warnings;
use Path::Tiny;
my $dhcpcdfile = 'fake.353'; # FIXME filename
-w $dhcpcdfile or die "cannot write $dhcpcdfile";
my %ip_params = (
interface => "usb0",

domain_servers => "1.1.1.1"

%ip_params = ( %ip_params, # add new data to defaults

my $foundinterface = 0;
path( $dhcpcdfile )->edit_lines( sub

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
