You have a single space before and a single space after both the strings. Is that a required effect? Notice:
my $page="nospaceLOTSnospace space LOTS space";
my $old_text = qq ( LOTS );
my $new_text = qq ( LESS );
$page =~ s/$old_text/$new_text/g;
print $page;
... will output ...
nospaceLOTSnospace space LESS space
The first "LOTS" does not get replaced because you are replacing " LOTS " (space before and after) with " LESS "

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).
