Let me preface with "Sorry to ask a dumb question but..."

With that said, I'm quite new to perl and I wanted to see if there was a way 
to search a text file for a particular string and replace it with a 
different value. The end result would be an updated text file on disk with 
the necessary changes.

Example:

file.txt exists on the drive.
Scalar $Server="Win2kDC1"

File.txt contains a string %SRV%. I want to search for every occurence and 
replace with $Server. File.txt would be updated in place if possible.

I have done this before with vbscript and RegExp, but I am new to perl and 
do not know the syntax. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Again, sorry 
for the newbie question.

Eric
