So the one real difference is that instead of creating a copy in memory, we
have to create a temporary file to hold the contents of our changes.

Hi

You can try something like this:
open(INFILE,"/etc/passwd");
@infile = ; #don't do this if your file gets big
close INFILE;
foreach(@infile){
if($_ =~ /^ftp/i){ #if it starts with "ftp"
$_ = '';#make it a zero-length string
}elsif($_ =~ /guest/i){ #else if it contains "guest"
