Thanks for the reply,
but my problem is that I don't know the value in advance.
I need to read them and according to their values to change them.
Thanks.
fpmurphy has shown you how you can edit a file with a perl command line one-liner, now you need to supply the logic to figure out what you need to do. Since we can only go by the one sample you provided that is all we can really help you with. So if you want more help you will need to supply more information about what you are trying to do. And please post any code you have written up to now.

Perl::Critic::Policy::Variables::RequireLexicalLoopIteraUser(Contributed Perl DocPerl::Critic::Policy::Variables::RequireLexicalLoopIterators(3pm)
NAME
Perl::Critic::Policy::Variables::RequireLexicalLoopIterators - Write "for my $element (@list) {...}" instead of "for $element (@list)
{...}".
AFFILIATION
This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.
DESCRIPTION
This policy asks you to use "my"-style lexical loop iterator variables:
foreach my $zed (...) {
...
}
Unless you use "my", "for"/"foreach" loops use a global variable with its value "local" to the block. In other words,
foreach $zed (...) {
...
}
is more-or-less equivalent to
{
local $zed
foreach $zed (...) {
...
}
}
This may not seem like a big deal until you see code like
my $bicycle;
for $bicycle (@things_attached_to_the_bike_rack) {
if (
$bicycle->is_red()
and $bicycle->has_baseball_card_in_spokes()
and $bicycle->has_bent_kickstand()
) {
$bicycle->remove_lock();
last;
}
}
if ( $bicycle and $bicycle->is_unlocked() ) {
ride_home($bicycle);
}
which is not going to allow you to arrive in time for dinner with your family because the $bicycle outside the loop is not changed by the
loop. You may have unlocked your bicycle, but you can't remember which one it was.
Lexical loop variables were introduced in Perl 5.004. This policy does not report violations on code which explicitly specifies an earlier
version of Perl (e.g. "require 5.002;").
CONFIGURATION
This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
