#!/usr/bin/perl -w
my $find = 'proof(\S+)';
my $rpl = 'read$1';
my $text = 'proofing is proof it needed to be proofed';
if ($text =~ s/$find/$rpl/) {
print "1st replacement made:\n\t$text\n";
}
I realize this is a trivial example, but I'm trying to figure out how to change the s/// portion of the code so it replaces 'proofing' with 'reading' (instead of 'read$1').
I'd be more than happy to RTFM if someone wants to point me in the right direction... it's just that I've been looking for the last 2 hours and I'm starting to feel numb.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
