Looks like you forgot to use .*? instead of .* in the final example, though. Also, Perl's -p and -n options are basically complementary; if you have -p, you don't need -n (and in fact -pin means -p and -i with an "n" argument, meaning create a backup file with an "n" suffix added to the end of the file name).
