Hi,
The following one-liner replaces 'hola' with 'warnings' in-place in the script a.t.

./perl -e 's/hola/warnings/gi' -p -i.bak a.t

However, it also creates a backup file a.t.bak with the original text.

Is it possible that if an inplace edit is attempted without creating a backup file, perl cannot delete the original file to replace with the modified file and, the original file will be left unmodified ?

Thanks,
Rajarshi.
