text substitution through single command line

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Is it possible in a sigle line command to change all text lines
for example in a file command.pf there are lines
source ../system.exe
source ../win.exe
i want to change them to
source ../../system.exe
source ../../win.exe
is it possible to make changes through single command line options
