I wanted to build an awesome place for people to discuss module specific issues, but I don't have any more time for this, and there are much better places to discuss Perl-related issues. I'd recommend asking your question on Stack Overflow or on Perl Monks.
If you are looking for a Perl tutorial or Perl-related news, I hope these links will serve you well.

I think you should use preferably "-overwrite_original" instead of "-overwrite_original_in_place"

Re: problems by using -overwrite
Micha,

Neither the -overwrite_original_in_place or -overwrite_original options will preserve a "_original" file. If the _original files were created with a previous command, then you should delete them if you don't want them. In a Unix shell, this is done with "rm *_original" (although not recursively). In Windows, something like "del *.*_original" may work.
