That's not what your original script did. Your original script was
only printing the $arg value, not anything else. Please take more
care to compose your posts, and you'll get better help.

Whilst I agree with the sentiment in general I think you are being a
little unfair in this case. Unless one understands the how "in -place
editing" works it is far from obvious that one needs to print all the
unchanged data too. If the OP had understood how how "in -place
editing" works we wouldn't have had a question.
