i ran into an interesting problem this morning that i was able to fix, but leaves me thinking that the script does a little more processing than it should/i want it to.
my code:

my @subs = qw(itchy.foo scratchy.bar homer.bab);

open(FH, "template") or die;

my @tmpl = <FH>;

close(FH);

for my $i(@subs) {
  open(FH,">virt.$i") or die;
  for my $j(@templ) {
    $j =~ s/^(\w+)\@DOMAIN$/$1\@$i/;
    print FH $j;
  }
  close(FH)
}

now, it makes sense that this works for the first value in @sub, but doesnt work for the remaining two, since each of the files opened will be written out with the first instance in the for $i loop, meaning that subsequent matches of DOMAIN won't be found. its easily remedied by matching against \w+ rather than an explicit DOMAIN, however, i end up processing more than i would like. when my @subs lists gets *very* long, that could be a bad thing. i continue to loop over it in my head, but i am not sure of the right way to do this.

thanks -c
