Again, I cannot reproduce your problem based on your verbal description:
C:\tmp>type t.pl
use warnings; use strict;
my $my_variable = '3.5n';
$my_variable =~ s/n/e-9/;
print $my_variable;
C:\tmp>t.pl
3.5e-9
Is there a specific reason why you don't post a minimal self-contained
script that produces your problem as recommended in the posting guidelines?
