in thread How do I modify a line within the file itself?

Well, sorry. I thought I wouldn't recommend anything starting with "File::Slurp" was just based on prejudice against the name or something. It's certainly valid to pick a different package because you prefer the api.

TIMTOWTDI, YMMV, ETC

Just for the record, File::Slurp has most of the file-processing functions you would need, too.
