There's actually even a perl function called "rename" that does just
this. Here's some good reading for you. Maybe from there you can
look up other stuff when you have questions.

after this now i want to overwrite the contents of original file

contents of temp. file.
why i want the original file because i want to use this original file
with changes in temp. file in my further build steps
If you write both the modified and the unmodified lines to the
temporary file, then the temporary file will be the file you need in
your further build steps. The only problem is that it still has the
wrong name. So you delete the original file and rename the temporary
file to become the new original file.
