    Thanx, I was going to try a while loop, but knew there must be a better way. I appreciate your help.

      while or for loop will work fine but u need to use substitute command for substituting the pattern. 

      my $length = scalar @arr;
for (my $i =0; $i <= $length; $i++){
    $arr[$i] =~ s/<pattern>/<pattern to be changed to>/g;
}
 print "@arr";

        Or better (and more idiomatically) yet:
            s{MATCH}{REPLACEMENT}xmsg for @array;

        (Note that the //g regex modifier may or may not be what you need.)

        Update: Removed comments anent unavailability of documentation server.
