JWK> There are a few ways to do what you require:
and you missed the simplest one so far (i did mention edit_file):

use File::Slurp qw( edit_file ) ;
my $file = 'data.txt' ;
edit_file { s/Dood/Dude/g } $file ;
and if you need a counter:
my $change_cnt ;
edit_file { $change_cnt = s/Dood/Dude/g || 0 } $file ;
print "made $change_cnt changes to $file\n" ;
