Hello there, Is there the posibility of changing the bellow snippet into a subroutine so every time I invoke into all *.rc files (changing the versions). Here how it is: 
..............
chomp(my $rc_dir_file1  = "C:\\$dev_proj");
chomp(my $rc_file1    = "C:\\$dev_proj\\file1.rc");
chomp(my $rc_file2    = "C:\\$dev_proj\\file2.rc");
chomp(my $olddot_ver     = $v_rc_file1);
my $pendingnewdot = (chop($v_rc_file1)+1) if ($vss_usr_auto =~ /^up$/i
+);
my $pendingnewdot = (chop($v_rc_file1)-1) if ($vss_usr_auto =~ /^down$
+/i);
chomp(my $dot_ver     = ($v_rc_file1 . $pendingnewdot));
print "\nUpdating: file1.dll, File: ";
system('ss.exe Checkout "$rc_file1" -cAutomated_Version_UPDATE_System 
+-F- -I-Y -R');
system('ss.exe Checkout "$rc_file2" -cAutomated_Version_UPDATE_System 
+-F- -I-Y -R'); 

#FILE VERSION
my $screw = $olddot_ver;
$olddot_ver =~ s/\./\,/g;
my $oldcomma_ver = $olddot_ver;
chomp(my $newdot_ver = $dot_ver);
$newdot_ver =~ s/\./\,/g;
chomp(my $newcomma_ver = $newdot_ver);
my $find = (' FILEVERSION ' . "$olddot_ver"); 
my $replace = (' FILEVERSION ' . "$newcomma_ver"); 
my $find1 = ('VALUE "FileVersion", ' . "\"" . "$screw" . "\""); 
my $replace1     = ('VALUE "FileVersion", ' . "\"" . "$dot_ver" . "\""
+); 

#FILE VERSION Subtitution
find(sub{return unless(/\.$doctype_rc$/i);local @ARGV = $_; local $^I 
+= '.bac';while(<>){if(s/$find/$replace/ig) {print;} else {print;}}},"
+$rc_dir_file"); 
find(sub{return unless(/\.$doctype_rc$/i);local @ARGV = $_; local $^I 
+= '.bac';while(<>){if(s/$find1/$replace1/ig) {print;}else{print;}}},"
+$rc_dir_file"); 
print "$file.$type:";
system('ss.exe Checkin "$rc_file1" -cAutomated_Version_UPDATE_System -
+I-Y -R');
system('ss.exe Checkin "$rc_file2" -cAutomated_Version_UPDATE_System -
+I-Y -R');

sub d {
my $file = $File::Find::name;
    $file =~ s,/,\\,g; return unless -f $file;
    return unless $file =~ /$file_pattern/;
    open F, $file || print "couldn't open $file\n" && return;
    while (<F>) {
        if (my ($found) = m/($search_pattern)/o) {
            print "ERRORs found in: $file\n\n";
            last;
        }
    } close F;
}
