Hello Monks,

I am, yet again, working my way through Llama. I am making an attempt at Chapter 9 exercise 4. The question is on page 134 (of the 4th Edition. I just got the 5th edition and I plan on making my way through that too!).

To summarize, the question asks you to add a copyright line to each exercise you've written so far by naming the files on the command line. This was my solution, but it doesn't seem to be panning out:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

$^I = ".bak";
while (<>) {
  if (/^#!/) {
  $_ .= "## Copyright (C) 2008 by C'est Mois";
  }
 
}

When I run the program on my files the files are not altered. Any idea where I went wrong? Many thanks to the all knowing monks!
