Your immediate problem is that you're never writing anything to the file. You're going to need to do a 

print HTFILE <changed title here>

to change the title. Even if you want to change it to nothing, you still need to write to the file.

That said, you're probably going to need to open a new file to write the entire output to once you've made your changes.

You could do it by modifying $/ and slurping the entire file in, doing a quick s/// on the string and then write the result to a file, but I'd stick with the other way if there aren't too many files to change.

Hope that helps!

There is no emoticon for what I'm feeling now.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
    [ &#91;
    ] &#93;
