That's probably the best option for a one-shot deal like this. On the
other hand, Perl itself provides the ability to go through a file one
line at a time, so you could just read a line, operate, write a line (to
a new file) as needed, over and over, until you get through the whole
file.
The real problem would be reading the whole file into a variable (or even
multiple variables) at once.
