How to replace one array element with another element in a file

Hi,
 
I am unable to replace all the array1 elements with corresponding array2 elements in a file. Here is my code
 
open FILE1, "<Test3.txt" or die " Cannot open to write file!";
my @newlines;
while (<FILE1>)
{
 chomp($_);
 $_ =~ s/@array1/@array2/g;
 push(@newlines,$_);
} 
close FILE1;
However, each array element is getting replaced individually..
I tried using for loop also, but didn't work. Please help.
 

Thanks in Advance,

Just a few thoughts: -you're opening the file to read not write as you appear to think -what is it exactly that you think that substitution will do? I'm only guessing, but do you want $array1[0] to be replaced by $array2[0], and so on pairwise in the array? If so, that's not how s/// works. You will need to use a loop through your arrays, but since you don't show what didn't work in your attempt I can't help you further with that. In general, the clearer your question the better the answer will be. As much as I'm happy to help, I don't have the time to code up solutions, make up sample data etc. If you provide a lot more on what your input is, what you tried, what output you got and what output you desire, you'll probably get more help.
