(1) What has the programming language to do with having or not having line breaks?
(2) I don't quite get the intention of your request: If you *know*, what your program is supposed to do, why don't you write it your self in the language of your choice (ksh, bash,....)? If you know neither shell scripting NOR Perl, what's the point in rewriting it? It would be easier to ask someone with Perl knowledge to help you with modifying the Perl program, instead to rewrite it from scratch.

string::rewriteprefix
String::RewritePrefix(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation String::RewritePrefix(3pm)
NAME
String::RewritePrefix - rewrite strings based on a set of known prefixes
VERSION
version 0.006
SYNOPSIS
use String::RewritePrefix;
my @to_load = String::RewritePrefix->rewrite(
{ '' => 'MyApp::', '+' => '' },
qw(Plugin Mixin Addon +Corporate::Thinger),
);
# now you have:
qw(MyApp::Plugin MyApp::Mixin MyApp::Addon Corporate::Thinger)
You can also import a rewrite routine:
use String::RewritePrefix rewrite => {
-as => 'rewrite_dt_prefix',
prefixes => { '' => 'MyApp::', '+' => '' },
};
my @to_load = rewrite_dt_prefix( qw(Plugin Mixin Addon +Corporate::Thinger));
# now you have:
qw(MyApp::Plugin MyApp::Mixin MyApp::Addon Corporate::Thinger)
METHODS
rewrite
String::RewritePrefix->rewrite(\%prefix, @strings);
This rewrites all the given strings using the rules in %prefix. Its keys are known prefixes for which its values will be substituted.
This is performed in longest-first order, and only one prefix will be rewritten.
If the prefix value is a coderef, it will be executed with the remaining string as its only argument. The return value will be used as the
prefix.
