## Functions

`newpl` - creates a basic Perl script file and opens it with $EDITOR

`pgs` - Perl Global Substitution (find pattern = 1st arg ; replace pattern	= 2nd arg ; filename = 3rd arg)

`prep` - Perl grep, because 'grep -P' is terrible. Lets you work with pipes or files. (pattern = 1st arg ; filename = 2nd arg)

## Requirements

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