OK, I have a new problem.  I need to delete an entire line that contains
certain text.  I have done an extensive search and had no luck finding an
adequate answer.  Yes, I also saw the FAQ that just refers me to
Tie::file.  The most promising solution was:

perl -ni.bak -e 'print unless /FOO/;' input.txt

but when I run that line from the c:\ I get the following error:

Can't find string terminator "'" anywhere before EOF at -e line 1.

Also, I would like to run this from within a script instead of from the
command line.

BTW...using PERL 5.8.0 on Windows2000 Pro
