Hi i am a beginner in perl.I have the following code to replace the 2nd comma in a line with "|".

$line="1,2,3";
my $ft_count = 0;
        $ft_count++ while($line =~ m/[,]/g);
        if($ft_count==2)
        {
        my $n = 2;
        my $r = $n - 1;
        $line =~ s/((?:,.*?){$r}),/${1}|/;   
}
print $line;
