Perl Replace File Content: Step-by-Step

To replace file contents in Perl, you can follow these steps:

1. Open the file and read its contents.

open my $file, '<', 'filename.txt' or die "Could not open file: $!";
my @lines = <$file>;
close $file;

1. Replace the content of the file.

foreach my $line (@lines) {
    $line =~ s/old_text/new_text/g;
}

1. Write the replaced content back to the file.

open my $new_file, '>', 'new_filename.txt' or die "Could not open file: $!";
foreach my $line (@lines) {
    print $new_file $line;
}
close $new_file;

This way, you can use Perl to replace the content in files. Please note, before replacing the content in the files, make sure to back up the original files in case of any unexpected incidents.
