Dear Monks,
I have a textfile looking like this:

Dit is een voorbeeldtekst
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
SOURCEREPOSITORYNAME
Roses are red, violets are blue
And Osama Is coming To Kill you
[download]

I want to change it in this:

Dit is een voorbeeldtekst
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
SOURCEREPOSITORYNAME=Development
Roses are red, violets are blue
And Osama Is coming To Kill you
[download]

To achieve this epic feat, I wrote the following piece of code (roughly based on my camel):

#!perl -w

use strict;
my $line;
my $CTLfile = 'y:\perl\test.ctl';
local $^I = '.bak';
open (CTLHANDLE, "+<$CTLfile");
while($line=<CTLHANDLE>){
    $line =~ s/SOURCEREPOSITORYNAME/SOURCEREPOSITORYNAME=Development/g
+;
    print CTLHANDLE "$line";
}
close(CTLHANDLE);
undef $^I;
[download]

This renders the following output:

Dit is een voorbeeldtekst
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
SOURCEREPOSITORYNAME
Roses are red, violets are blue
And Osama Is coming To Kill youDit is een voorbeeldtekst
Dit is een voorbeeldtekst
ver the lazy dog.
ver the lazy dog.

I cannot explain this. I know there are modules helping for in place editing, but I don't want to use them. can someone explain the output, why it looks like this and what I can do to achieve my goal?

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
