I've started writing a simple perl script for a web site so I can update
it more quickly, but as I have a bit of a problem.

Here is what I have:

#!c:/Perl/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
$game = open (TEXT, "../htdocs/gameplow/game");
$index = open (TEXT, "../htdocs/gameplow/index");
$index =~ s/inpoint/$game/;
print $barf;
while ($index = <TEXT>) {
    foreach $line($index){
        print $line
}
}
close(TEXT);

The problem is my search and replace does not work.  I'm new to perl and
I find the perlre syntax very confusing.  I simply want to replace one
word(a string) with a much bigger string! How are files accessed
differently than regular strings? I don't receive an error though. It
just doesn't replace the string... any help would be appreciated.
