in thread Search and replace next line

So instead of opening the file like I do: perl "replace test.pl" then write: perl "replace test.pl Compiler_Setup.ini" and then it will open the file Compiler_setup so that I can read lines out of it? NICE :D
and if I set the -i attrib it will change the line LocalCompilerPresent=0 in Compiler_Setup.ini to =1 ??

Sorry for asking this many questions, I just want to know that I got it right :) I'm quite new to perl, but I think it's fun.. :)
