G'day victorz22,

Here's how I might have tackled this (pm_1189607_read_replace_write.pl). 

#!/usr/bin/env perl -l

use strict;
use warnings;
use autodie;

use File::Spec;

my ($infile, $outfile) = qw{pm_1189607_input pm_1189607_output};

my %new_path_for = (
    'old/path/to/some/'          => 'new/path/to/some/',
    'another/old/path/to/some/'  => 'another/new/path/to/some/',
    'one/more/old/path/to/some/' => 'one/more/new/path/to/some/',
);

{
    open my $in_fh, '<', $infile;
    open my $out_fh, '>', $outfile;

    while (<$in_fh>) {
        chomp;
        my ($vol, $dirs, $file) = File::Spec::->splitpath($_);
        
        $dirs = $new_path_for{$dirs} if exists $new_path_for{$dirs};

        print $out_fh File::Spec::->catpath($vol, $dirs, $file);
    } 
}

Sample run:

$ cat pm_1189607_input
old/path/to/some/file
another/old/path/to/some/file
one/more/old/path/to/some/file
path/to/keep/as/is/file
$ pm_1189607_read_replace_write.pl
$ cat pm_1189607_output
new/path/to/some/file
another/new/path/to/some/file
one/more/new/path/to/some/file
path/to/keep/as/is/file
