+perl-File-Inplace
+
+File::Inplace is a perl module intended to ease the common task of
+editing a file in-place. Inspired by variations of perl's -i option,
+this module is intended for somewhat more structured and reusable
+editing than command line perl typically allows. File::Inplace
+endeavors to guarantee file integrity; that is, either all of the
+changes made will be saved to the file, or none will. It also offers
+functionality such as backup creation, automatic field splitting
+per-line, automatic chomping/unchomping, and aborting edits partially
+through without affecting the original file.
