Thank you for the help.I've been trying to use a script that uses the
map function in the following manner
my $var = chr(13); for the control character ^M
my @mapped = map{
s/$var//g;
s/"//g;
$_;
}@contents;
What I'd really like to do though is to be able to write back(append)
to the same file.I am confused about opening a file in the append mode.
This essentially will serve as a clean up script to files that have any
of the
above.
Thanks in advance.

If the input file is not large, you can gobble the entire contents and
slurp
it into an array as this:
my(@contents) = <INP>;
Now you can do whatever regex substitution you need on @contents and
then
you can save it back to a new file, or truncate the old file and write
the
new modified contents into the old file.
