Thanks, Courage :)

Did you mean the following? 

use Benchmark;
$start = new Benchmark;

open(FH, "wrongs") or die $!;
open(FH2, ">wrongs2") or die $!;
undef $/;
$lines = <FH>;
$counted2 = $lines =~ s/wrongs/wrongs4/g;
print FH2 "$lines";
$/ = "\n";
close (FH);
close (FH2);
$end = new Benchmark;

# calculate difference
$diff = timediff($end, $start);
print "replaced: $counted2 The operation took: " , timestr($diff, 'all
+');
