## Functions

* `newpl`: creates a basic Perl script file and opens it with $EDITOR.

* `pgs`: Perl Global Substitution: `pgs <find_pattern> <replace_pattern> <filename>`
  Looks for `<find_pattern>` and replaces it with `<replace_pattern>` in `<filename>`.

* `prep`: Perl grep, because 'grep -P' is terrible: `prep <pattern> [<filename>]`
  Lets you work with pipes or files (if no `<filename>` provided, use stdin).

## Requirements

In order to make this work, you will need to have perl installed.
