It gives me a compilation error and I never used perl... :/ Any suggestions?

@EnriqueTorellóPerelló, possibly, you have an old version of perl before the r flag was added.

where do I specify the line from file A to replace in file B? I suppose that value1 is the value from file B to be replaced. Right?

@EnriqueTorellóPerelló, that answer answers your question as currently stated in the body of your question, the additional comments to your question seem to suggest a different question. I've given up trying to guess what you actually want to do. You should edit your question with a more relevant example.
