The perl man pages are pretty exhaustive. In fact, I don't think I've
ever used anything else to learn the bit of perl I know.
I could try to translate this:
perl
-p loop over all line in the file
-e use this expression
' needed as the argument contains e.g. spaces
s substitute
: some delimiter
<space>word<space> the thing to be replaced
: same delimiter
\n\\emph on\n word \n\\emph default\n the replacement
: same delimiter
g repeat if more than one instance
' closing quote
