Re^7: Delete a line from files

[choroba]

It doesn't work. The diamond operator opens the file and reads from it at the same time, you can't first open the file and then set the variable. Check the difference yourself:

perl -pwe '$^I = ".bak"; s/[<>]/|/g' file1
perl -pwe 'BEGIN { $^I = ".bak" } s/[<>]/|/g' file2
