Find/replace to new file: ksh -> perl
I have korn shell script that genretaets 100 file based on template replacing the number.
The template file is as below:
Code:
$ cat template
file number: NUMBER

The shell script is as below:
Code:
$ cat gen.sh
#!/bin/ksh
i=1;
while ((i <= 100)); do
        sed "s/NUMBER/$i/" template > file_${i}
(( i = i + 1));
done

Now I want to migrate this code into perl script called gen.pl
How can I fine replace NUMBER is template file and generate new output file?

mkcover

MKCOVER(8)						      System Manager's Manual							MKCOVER(8)

NAME

       mkcover - HylaFAX continuation cover page generation command

SYNOPSIS

       /var/spool/hylafax/bin/mkcover qfile template result

DESCRIPTION

       bin/mkcover  is the command invoked by the facsimile server when a continuation cover page is required for an outbound job that is about to
       be retried.  It generates a single POSTSCRIPT(R) page that is imaged according to the remote capabilities  and  transmitted  as	the  cover
       page.  The arguments are:

       qfile	 the job description file for the outbound job.

       template  the cover page template file, as used by the faxcover(1) program.

       result	 the filename where the resultant POSTSCRIPT document should be written.

       The default mkcover command is a shell script that uses awk(1) to parse the job description file and generate the cover page document.  The
       template file may be optionally compressed with compress(1), pack(1), or gzip(1); the filename suffix is used to decide whether or not  the
       template file contains compressed data.
