The following approach is fine if you are going to hardcode "NEWVALUE" into the replacement text.
If instead it needs to be parameterized (if so, you should always mention that when requesting assistance), then you would need to make sure that NEWVALUE cannot include characters which are special in replacement text (such as the s command's delimiter, &, \, etc). In such a case, it would probably be safest to use AWK and its string handling functions (index, substr, length, and their ilk).

HTML::Formatter(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation HTML::Formatter(3)NAME
HTML::Formatter - Base class for HTML formatters
SYNOPSIS
use HTML::FormatSomething;
my $infile = "whatever.html";
my $outfile = "whatever.file";
open OUT, ">$outfile"
or die "Can't write-open $outfile: $!
Aborting";
binmode(OUT);
print OUT HTML::FormatSomething->format_file(
$infile,
'option1' => 'value1',
'option2' => 'value2',
...
);
close(OUT);
DESCRIPTION
HTML::Formatter is a base class for classes that take HTML and format it to some output format. When you take an object of such a base
class and call "$formatter->format( $tree )" with an HTML::TreeBuilder (or HTML::Element) object, they return the
HTML formatters are able to format a HTML syntax tree into various printable formats. Different formatters produce output for different
output media. Common for all formatters are that they will return the formatted output when the format() method is called. The format()
method takes a HTML::Element object (usually the HTML::TreeBuilder root object) as parameter.
Here are the four main methods that this class provides:
SomeClass->format_file( $filename, option1 => value1, option2 => value2, ... )
This returns a string consisting of the result of using the given class to format the given HTML file according to the given (optional)
options. Internally it calls "SomeClass->new( ... )->format( ... )" on a new HTML::TreeBuilder object based on the given HTML file.
SomeClass->format_string( $html_source, option1 => value1, option2 => value2, ... )
This returns a string consisting of the result of using the given class to format the given HTML source according to the given
(optional) options. Internally it calls "SomeClass->new( ... )->format( ... )" on a new HTML::TreeBuilder object based on the given
source.
$formatter = SomeClass->new( option1 => value1, option2 => value2, ... )
This creates a new formatter object with the given options.
$render_string = $formatter->format( $html_tree_object )
This renders the given HTML object accerting to the options set for $formatter.
After you've used a particular formatter object to format a particular HTML tree object, you probably should not use either again.
