A better way? You didn't describe a way to do it in Perl, and your vi
solution wouldn't work in Perl, for what should be obvious reasons.
See perldoc -q 'in a file' or
http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.6.1/pod/perlfaq5.html, second link down, 'How
do I change one line in a file/delete a line in a file/insert a line in the
middle of a file/append to the beginning of a file?'
