Hello Melvin,

Give this a try. I used the advice Jim gave and this is what I came up
with. It seems to do what you are asking for.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;

my $inFile = "input.txt";
my $outFile = "output.txt";

open my $fin, '<', $inFile or die "ERROR opening $inFile: $!";
open my $out, '>', $outFile or die "ERROR opening $outFile: $!";

while( my $line = <$fin> ) {
  $line =~ s/baby/bigboy/g;
  print $out $line;
}

HTH,

Chris
