You have to code it that way explicitly yourself, something like (UNTESTED):
my $file = 'Migration.cs';
open my $IN, '<', $file or die "Cannot open '$file' $!";
open my $OUT, '>', "$file.new" or die "Cannot open '$file.new' $!";
my $changed;
while ( <$IN> ) {
$changed += s/class/xybpublicabc/g;
print $OUT;
}
close $OUT;
close $IN;
if ( $changed ) {
rename $file, "$file.bak" or die "Cannot rename '$file' $!";
rename "$file.new", $file or die "Cannot rename '$file.new' $!";
else {
unlink "$file.new" or die "Cannot unlink '$file.new' $!";
}
Thanks John!
I to edit it a little but it works!
Can someone explain to why I have to remove the $ from $IN and $OUT
and remove the "my" in "my $IN" and "my $OUT" to make it work?
Older versions of Perl could not use lexical variables for filehandles.
