Using Patterns with Substitutions


    





#The s operator substitutes data that match a pattern with replacement data. 



#$variable =~ s/pattern/substitution/;



#The s operator returns the number of substitutions made or 0 if none occurred.



#!/usr/bin/perl -w



$p = "Jack, Software Engineer";



$p =~ s/Software Engineer/Tester/;



print "New title: $p.\n";
