Re: perl substitute

Some thoughts:

s/foore/barstring/ works on $_ in isolation, but you're not setting $_, even implicitly.
You set $doc but never subsequently refer to it.
You use IO::File but never subsequently refer to it.
You alternate between slashes and hashes for regexp delimiters for no apparent reason
Looks like your input XML is not valid XML
and finally, you both use an XML parser and then attempt to just regexp your way through the string. Pick one, not both.

> You alternate between slashes and hashes for regexp delimiters for no apparent reason Well he needs another regex-delimiter an substitutions with `</end>` tags to avoid the slash. Cheers Rolf ( addicted to the Perl Programming Language)	[reply] [d/l]

Sure, but that's no reason to alternate - just use hashes throughout. Inconsistency is the bug's friend. :)	[reply]
