in reply to Converting a source code

You need to open target file for writing, not reading. 
open targetfile, ">source.ada" or die "Can't open: $!";

Consider using scalars for your filehandles. See open. Also, if you are not calling perl with -w, you should consider adding "use warnings;" in addition to use strict.

    Thanks duckyd! one more question... how do i store the value to targetfile? This doesn't work: 

    s/WORKING -STORAGE SECTION./DECLARE;/;
print targetfile $line, "\n";
