It's like sed in a bottle: Perl tutorial: Substitution and translation
Code:
s/^APP=[^ ]* [01]*[0-9]\/[0-3]*[0-9]\/[21][09][0-9][0-9] *$/APP=$NEWVAL $NEWDT/
 
s/^ABCD [01]*[0-9]\/[0-3]*[0-9]\/[21][09][0-9][0-9] *$/.../

Since it is PERL not sed, you need a loop that reads lines into string variables for substitution.

GSMARKUPLOCALIZABLESTRINGS.APP(1)			      General Commands Manual				 GSMARKUPLOCALIZABLESTRINGS.APP(1)

NAME

       GSMarkupLocalizableStrings.app - GNUstep Development Framework

SYNOPSIS

       GSMarkupLocalizableStrings.app [FILE]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the GSMarkupLocalizableStrings.app utility.

       This  manual page was written for the Debian distribution (based on the program's README file) because the original program does not have a
       manual page.

       GSMarkupLocalizableStrings.app is a GNUstep Renaissance utility that extracts the localizable strings from  a  GNUstep  Renaissance  Markup
       Language file (gsmarkup for short.)  This allows the designer to provide pofiles for the strings to easily support internationalization.

       Renaissance was written by Nicola Pero (n.pero@mi.flashnet.it) and is part of the GNUstep project (http://www.gnustep.org).

       GNUstep Renaissance home page is at http://www.gnustep.it/Renaissance.

AUTHOR

       This manual page was written by Brent A. Fulgham <bfulgham@debian.org>, for the Debian project (but may be used by others).
