NAME

       OpaL::manipulate - Perl extension for manipulating files.

SYNOPSIS

	 use OpaL::manipulate qw(functions);

       No functions or variables are exported automaticly so you have to specify them here.

DESCRIPTION

       OpaL::manipulate is a module for manipulating files.

       All functions are autoloaded so they will not be loaded into memory if you have not used them before.

FUNCTIONS

       perlmodifyadvanced
	   It simply applies the script to the file to change its content.  You also have to apply a message to tell what you are doing mostly for
	   debugging and if any error occures. The error level tells how critical this action is to the script.

	   USAGE:
	       "perlmodifyadvanced"("file", "script",
				  "message", errorlevel);

	   The errorlevel is optional.

       perlmodify
	   It simply fixes some stuff in the script string and then calls perlmodifyadvanced.

	   USAGE:
	       "perlmodify"("file", "script",
			  "message", errorlevel);

	   The errorlevel is optional.

       perlmodify_insertafter
	   This function searches for something (regular expression). It if is found it inserts the text after it. But it will never insert the
	   text twice.

	   You also have to apply a message to tell what you are doing mostly for debugging and if any error occures. The error level tells how
	   critical this action is to the script.

	   USAGE:
	       "perlmodify_insertafter"("file", "find", "text",
				      "message", errorlevel);

	   The errorlevel is optional.
