I'm new to this but I'd be doing something like
open file1 for input
open file2 for output using >> so it appends
.marker1.
read a single line as variables $1, $2, ...
use switch/case to select the field(s) you want to fix or alter
change it(them) for that line of input (with case selecting fields you
+ want to alter in order)
print to (output) file2 the variables $1,$2...
check if endof input file
if not goto the next line of the input file
loop to .marker1.
if eof input file
add a print "\n"; to the output file (you usually need it)
and close both input file and output file
simple I think, but i'm a newbie

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.
