in thread Replacing a given character starting with the xth occurence in a string

You're right of course, my code should have been: 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
my $p = 'Terrence and Philip are sweet';
$p =~ s/e/1/g;
print "$p";

which is a direct copy and paste, but still doesn't give the desired result, I see after re-reading. I'll have to think about that a little harder. Now I see why it wasn't as easy as I thought at first go.
