is sed useful here?
hi all,
i have a file named VAL
cat VAL
@905544|0|{5|1|-1|-1|-1|1247559121|}
the value which changes in this is 905544.
i want to replace this '905544' value by other value say '905600'
i am trying this
i have taken this value '905544' to a file named $Curr
and to be value to a file named $Tobe is ''905600'' , i am doing this because these values are not fixed.
commad am using is:
sed 's/`cat $Curr`/`cat $Tobe`/ $VAL $VAL_New
its creating a zero byte file named VAL_New.
Please suggest other alternative than sed if possible for this task.
Thanks

cpanplus::configure
CPANPLUS::Configure(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation CPANPLUS::Configure(3)
NAME
CPANPLUS::Configure - configuration for CPANPLUS
SYNOPSIS
$conf = CPANPLUS::Configure->new( );
$bool = $conf->can_save;
$bool = $conf->save( $where );
@opts = $conf->options( $type );
$make = $conf->get_program('make');
$verbose = $conf->set_conf( verbose => 1 );
DESCRIPTION
This module deals with all the configuration issues for CPANPLUS. Users can use objects created by this module to alter the behaviour of
CPANPLUS.
Please refer to the "CPANPLUS::Backend" documentation on how to obtain a "CPANPLUS::Configure" object.
METHODS
$Configure = CPANPLUS::Configure->new( load_configs => BOOL )
This method returns a new object. Normal users will never need to invoke the "new" method, but instead retrieve the desired object via a
method call on a "CPANPLUS::Backend" object.
load_configs
Controls whether or not additional user configurations are to be loaded or not. Defaults to "true".
$bool = $Configure->init( [rescan => BOOL])
Initialize the configure with other config files than just the default 'CPANPLUS::Config'.
Called from "new()" to load user/system configurations
If the "rescan" option is provided, your disk will be examined again to see if there are new config files that could be read. Defaults to
"false".
Returns true on success, false on failure.
can_save( [$config_location] )
Check if we can save the configuration to the specified file. If no file is provided, defaults to your personal config.
Returns true if the file can be saved, false otherwise.
$file = $conf->save( [$package_name] )
Saves the configuration to the package name you provided. If this package is not "CPANPLUS::Config::System", it will be saved in your
".cpanplus" directory, otherwise it will be attempted to be saved in the system wide directory.
If no argument is provided, it will default to your personal config.
Returns the full path to the file if the config was saved, false otherwise.
options( type => TYPE )
Returns a list of all valid config options given a specific type (like for example "conf" of "program") or false if the type does not exist
ACCESSORS
Accessors that start with a "_" are marked private -- regular users should never need to use these.
See the "CPANPLUS::Config" documentation for what items can be set and retrieved.
get_SOMETHING( ITEM, [ITEM, ITEM, ... ] );
The "get_*" style accessors merely retrieves one or more desired config options.
set_SOMETHING( ITEM => VAL, [ITEM => VAL, ITEM => VAL, ... ] );
The "set_*" style accessors set the current value for one or more config options and will return true upon success, false on failure.
add_SOMETHING( ITEM => VAL, [ITEM => VAL, ITEM => VAL, ... ] );
The "add_*" style accessor adds a new key to a config key.
Currently, the following accessors exist:
set|get_conf
Simple configuration directives like verbosity and favourite shell.
set|get_program
Location of helper programs.
_set|_get_build
Locations of where to put what files for CPANPLUS.
_set|_get_source
Locations and names of source files locally.
_set|_get_mirror
Locations and names of source files remotely.
_set|_get_fetch
Special settings pertaining to the fetching of files.
