Hello and thanks for this perl script. I'm new in perl and when i test 
him, i have an error that says:
No such file or directory at myscript.pl line 18

line 18 = open(TMP, "> $tmpsupfile") or die "$!";

#!/usr/bin/perl -Tw

 use strict;

 #
 # supfile_set_default_host($supfile, $newhost)
 #       Set the default host used by the supfile $supfile to the
 #       host name supplied as $newhost.
 #

 sub supfile_set_default_host($$);
 sub supfile_set_default_host($$)
 {
     my $tmpsupfile;
     my $supfile = "/etc/standard-supfile";
     my $newhost = "cvsup.fr.freebsd.org";

     if (!defined($supfile) || !defined($newhost)) {
         return undef;
     }

     $tmpsupfile = "tmp-" . $supfile;
     open(SUP, "$supfile") or die "$!";
     open(TMP, "> $tmpsupfile") or die "$!";

     my $line;
     while (defined($line = <SUP>)) {
         chomp $line;
         $line =~ s/^(\*[ \t]*default[ \t][ \t]*host[ \t]*=).*/$1${newhost}/;
         print TMP "$line\n";
     }
     close(TMP) or die "$!";
     close(SUP) or die "$!";
     rename("$tmpsupfile", "$supfile") or die "$!";
     return 1;
}

 supfile_set_default_host('standard-supfile', 'cvsup.example.net');


Thanks again for your help.
