I think this is right. and that there are better tools than Perl for 
this. 

As Linux/UNIX programmer I use grep, gawk or less in preference to Perl. 
The exact one chosen would depend on what was needed to be done. [1]

I'm unsure what a Windows user's weapons of choice would be - Perl or 
Visual BASIC?

[1] The last job of this type I did was when I needed a list of names as 
'Firstname SURNAME and was handed an Excel spreadsheet containing the 
names in a single column as 'SURNAME Firstname'. I first saved the 
spreadsheet as a CSV file and used gawk to pull out the name column, 
split it on spaces, swap the elements and write it to a second file.
