(Ugh... sent this to the wrong list :)
The -i switch is for the "inplace edit". However, if you don't specify an extension,
it will not
create a backup. Here's how I might edit a file on my Win2K box:
perl -pi.bak -e "s/\n/\r\n/g" somescript.pl
That will backup somescript.pl to somescript.pl.bak. I should have pointed that out
in the first
place (in other words, I should have read the docs :).
