In Perl, There's more than one way to do it *. Depends how you're doing it, but
if you were trying to replace the 5th character in a string with a * for
example, you could do:

$string =~ s/^(.{4})./$1*/;

I'm fairly sure there are better (faster) ways to do it but that'd work.

Don't expect to understand that unless you've ever seen Regular Expressions -
they're not unique to Perl, but I'd never seen them before I came across Perl.

As far as an open source ng project, I'd help for Java/Perl. As I said, Perl's
good for CGI (i.e. a webpage based game) but would require anyone else to
download Perl to run it on their comp.

* Perl's motto. Sorry, thought I'd throw it in.
