Do you come from C? It's hardly ever necessary to exit(0) at the end of a
Perl program.
>Can I use <> instead on open file and then <IN> here
Yes, if you first remove $ARGV[1] and $ARGV[2]; here are some ways:
my ($from, $to) = splice @ARGV, 1, 2;
my ($to, $from) = (pop @ARGV, pop @ARGV); # <-- backwards!
Then you can do:
while (<>) { s/$from/$to/; print }
