## I LOVE PERL (and hate it, at the same time...)
##
## So what's going on with the self-compiling perl code?
##
## 1. The program gets the find-pattern and the replace-pattern from the user (as strings).
## 2. If both the find-pattern and replace-pattern are simple strings (not regex), 
##    it would be possible to pre-compile a regex (with qr//) and use it in a 's///'
## 3. If the find-pattern is a regex but the replace-pattern is a simple text string (with out back-references)
##    it is still possible to pre-compile the regex and use it in a 's///'
## However,
## 4. If the replace-pattern contains back-references, pre-compiling is not possible.
##    (in perl, you can't precompile a substitute regex).
##    See these examples:
##    http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=84420
##    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/125171/passing-a-regex-substitution-as-a-variable-in-perl
##
##    The solution:
##    we build the regex string as valid perl code (in 'build_regex()', stored in $regex_string ),
##    Then eval() a new perl code that contains the substitution regex as inlined code.
##    Gotta love perl!

Find and Replace
Copyright (C) 2009 - by A. Gordon ( gordon at cshl dot edu )

Usage: $0 [-o OUTPUT] [-g] [-r] [-w] [-i] [-c N] [-l] FIND-PATTERN REPLACE-PATTERN [INPUT-FILE]

   -g   - Global replace - replace all occurences in line/column. 
          Default - replace just the first instance.
   -w   - search for complete words (not partial sub-strings).
   -i   - case insensitive search.
   -c N - check only column N, instead of entire line (line split by whitespace).
   -l   - skip first line (don't replace anything in it)
   -r   - FIND-PATTERN and REPLACE-PATTERN are perl regular expression,
          usable inside a 's///' statement.
          By default, they are used as verbatim text strings.
   -o OUT - specify output file (default = STDOUT).
   INPUT-FILE - (optional) read from file (default = from STDIN).
