Snapshot.pm is just a text file with a list of modules inside. Now, Perl happens to be a tool that was created with text manipulation in mind. Therefore, why don't you use it as a filter?

The quick way:

$ perl -i.bak -ne 'print unless /(?:Module1|Module2)/' Snapshot.pm

The classic way:

#filter_snapshot.pl use strict; use warnings; my @exclude_modules = map {chomp;quotemeta($_)} <DATA>; FILTER: while (<>) { for my $excluded (@exclude_modules) { next FILTER if /$excluded/ } print ; } __DATA__ module1 Module2 Module3::SubModule Module4

Invoke it as

$ perl filter_snapshot.pl Snapshot.pm > New_Snapshot.pm
