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
Nevermind "hard coding" it... and on Unix, you might as well replace it with an alias. Here's how I'd do that in my shell (bash):
alias rmdots="perl -pe 's/\.\$// if /@{[shift]}/'"
Uh... (test first!) Make that:
alias rmdots="perl -pe 'BEGIN{\$p=shift}s/\.$// if /\$p/'"
Usage would be: rmdots pattern 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).
