Very creative!

But I guess that you also need to list the last part of the file.

That is, like in a huge 

split

Sorry, I still can't get what the my $matched= chomp; really does... I need more practice, I guess [-(.

    Actually you do get the last part of the source file. If there is just one instance of the match text in the original file then the first itteration of the loop prints the part before the match and the replacement text. The second itteration prints the part of the original file following the match text, but does not insert the replacement text.
