Maybe a little something like this?
my $string = q{
1. This is just a sample.
2. This is to check
3. How a set of values
4. can be replaced by another
5. set of values and that too
6. in the most efficient way.
};
my %replacements = (
'1.' => 'a.',
'2.' => 'b.',
'3.' => 'c.',
'4.' => 'd.',
'5.' => 'e.',
'6.' => 'f.',
);
my $regexp = join '|', map quotemeta, keys %replacements;
$string =~ s/($regexp)/$replacements{$1}/g;
print $string;
perl -E'sub Monkey::do{say$_,for@_,do{($monkey=[caller(0)]->[3])=~s{::}{ }and$monkey}}"Monkey say"->Monkey::do'

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
