Now, however, there is a better answer. New in Perl 5.8, Perl is a text editor. The Tie::File module associates a Perl array with the lines of a file; you can modify the array with assignments, or push, or splice, or reverse, or whatever you prefer, and your changes will be instantly propagated to the file. I'll introduce this module and show how to use it and how it works.
To use pattern matching in Perl, you figure out what you want to find, you write a regular expression to find it, and then you stick that pattern in a situation where the result of finding (or not finding) that pattern makes sense.hereas other languages may provide regular expression libraries or functions, pattern matching is intrinsic to Perl's operation and tightly bound to many other aspects of the language. Perl without regular expressions is just another funny-looking language.
