Hello All,
Could someone explain what Perl does behind here?
Assign to Substring..
substr($string, 0 , 5) = 'Greetings';

It replaces the first 5 characters in $string with 'Greetings'.
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my $string = 'Hello, world';
print "$string\n";
substr($string, 0 , 5) = 'Greetings';
print "$string\n";
__END__
Can also be written as:
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my $string = 'Hello, world';
print "$string\n";
substr($string, 0 , 5, 'Greetings' );
print "$string\n";
__END__
