cfengine-like file editing module?

Hi all. I've been playing with a new sysadmins tool called cfengine
recently (and any admins on this list should have a look at it). Anyway, it
has an editfiles section which does some cool file editing stuff, although
even the creator agrees the syntax is bad. Anyway, I was wondering if there
are any perl modules which allow you to do something like (this is sort of a
cross between cfengine and perl and pseudocode):
with <filename> {
ReplaceAll /regex/ With "string"
IF Exists Line "<line text>" AppendLine "<line text>"
}
If cfengine sees this, it reads in the file mentioned in filename, and
performs the listed transforms.
Anyway, are there any modules with this stuff built in?
Thanks all,
:)
