Hi guys, I hope someone can help me with this as I am a little stuck. I read a file and have place holders in the file. If there is a place holder specified then I replace it with its coresponding value from a hash. The code I have works fine when there is only one match on the line, the problems start with 2. First the code... 
if ($loop_line =~/\[(.*)\]/)
{
    my $replace = $1;
    $loop_line =~s/$replace/$replace_with/;
}

So if the line contains static replace [something] here then something is replaced. That works no problem. If I have static replace [something] and [another] thing then I get into problems. Can anyone help and point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
