First, some questions about what you already know.
Do you know:
Basic perl?
Basic HTML?
How to use perl to read lines from a file?
How to use perl modules?
CPAN?
perldoc?
And about your data/task:
Is it plain text?
Is this a once-off to translate some already existing documents
of which there will be no more, or one that will be repeatedly
applied to some ongoing supply of 100's of "newsletters"?
Is the newsletter's content created 100% manually, or by dropping
text in to template / or programatically generated?
--------------
Some quick examples of reading a text file, a line at a time:
while (<>) { # read next line
if $. == 2 { ... # if line number 2 then
if /foo/ { ... # if line contains 'foo'
if /^foo/ { # if line starts with 'foo'
if eof { ... # if end of file
print; # print line
}
There's a zillion ways to do the output bit.
One way would be to use Text::Template, but it partly depends
on what you know and what you're trying to do.
