Since this program removes any trailing dot on lines that
contain some particular string, i don't see why you named
it ident.pl ... but that's okay. Here is some
code that does the same thing as yours, but does so more
consisely:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my ($file,$var) = @ARGV;
die "USAGE: $0 file word\n" unless $file and $var;
open GETARG, '<', $file or die "Can't open $file: $!\n";
while (<GETARG>) {
s/\.$// if /$var/;
print;
}
close GETARG or die "Couldn't close $file: $!\n";
Also, if you don't mind "hard coding" the word you want
to match in the code, this can be trimmed down to a one
liner: (remember to replace the double quotes with
single quotes if you use Win32)
perl -pe's/\.$// if /word/' file
Perl rules. :)

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).
