Greetings,
First thing first, have you tried anything? Do you have any running code that copy one file into another line by line?
The following snippet could do the trick, BUT you should understand what each line does:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;#dont let me do silly things
use warnings;#tell me if I try to do them anyway
use autodie;#halt and catch fire if things dont work out
my $keyword = qr/what/;#store the regex
open(my $fh,'<','input_file');#open input file for reading using $fh f
+ilehandle
open(my $outf,'>','output_file');#open output file for writing
while(<$fh>){
if($_ =~ $keyword){#if the line matches te keyword then
next;#jump to next line
}
print $outf $_;#print current line to the output file
}
close $fh;#cleanly close the input file
close $outf;#cleanly close the output file

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
