There are a couple of FAQs that might help:
$ perldoc -q "change one line"
$ perldoc -q "between two patterns"
As a rough outline -->
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
@ARGV = $filename; # for "in-place" editing
$^I = '.bak'; # file extension for backups
while (<>) {
# skip lines outside these patterns:
next unless /^module (add|clt)/../^endmodule/;
# interesting stuff goes here:
rearrange_those_dots();
}
And if you give us a more specific problem description we MAY
be able to give you more specific advice. :-)
