    # in you "set SRVBUILD" case:
    # $line =~ s/^\=(\W*)/\=/;
    # this will not work since you're using an ^ anchor;
    # the "=" is not at the beginning of the string, is it?
    # also, \W matches any NONword-character; anything NOT a letter, d
+igit or underscore
    # but if I understood correctly you want to change everything afte
+r the "="

    # you can simply use a s///ubstitution here
    # since if the left side does not match, nothing gets replaced;
    # no need for an if(){}
    s/^(set SRVBUILD)=.*/$1=INI_CODE_HERE/;

    # and then we can just let the boilerplate print handle the modifi
+ed $line
