perlquestion TomDLux <p>People talk about one-liners, but it's usually just to say that someone's usefull little utility could be collapsed into an unreadable glumph of line noise .... wait, that's the deinition of Perl, isn't it?</p> <p>But what one-liners do people actually use? I regularly alter Autosys meta-scripts to run a new version of a set of scripts, or to target a new database, or to run on a new host, using perl as a super-sed:</p> <code> co -l *np40* perl -pi -e"m/host:/ && s/paias167/pa167c1n1/" ci -u -m'move scripts to new hosts' *np40* </code> <!-- Node text goes above.
