Good news, Dan.
That is arguably one of Perl's most famous features!

sed, if you are familiar with that.
open IN, "< $input" or die "Unable to open $input for reading, $!,
stopped";
open OUT, "> $output" or die "Unable

Hi Dan,
have you tried using a regular expression?
I am using something like this for a similar purpose:
open ($fh, $filename);

# replace globally in the default variable $_
s/#INSERT#TEXT#HERE/$text_to_insert/g;
}
close ($fh);
