Thank you very much , this helped alot. I am still having a bit of trouble with the script,it will not update the file, unless $line = $newline; is inside the while loop 

  while ($line =~ / Name=(.*?) \s+ Password=(.*?) (?:\s+|$) /mgx)
    {
        my $name     = $1;
        my $password = $2;
        print "Enter the plain text password for $name, ",
              "password is currently '$password'\n";

        chomp(my $newpass = <>);
        print "You will now swap $password for password='$newpass'\n";
        print "Continue? (y/n)\n";
        chomp(my $answer  = <>);

        # Change the copy

    $newline =~ s{Password=\Q$password\E}{Password=$newpass} 
if $answer =~ /y/i;


    }
    $line = $newline;       # Update this line in the file
}

untie @array
    or die "Cannot untie file '$filename': $!";
