....
Ser$ = "what ever"
rep$ = something maps

maps is a var how would i include the var in the replacement

Let me see if I understand you.
Perhaps you got *maps* from the user, like this:
INPUT "Please enter the maps data ", MAPS$

Then you want to append it to "something "
So, you now would do:
REP$ = "something " + MAPS$

Does this now get you started?

while (<$yourfile>) { #can be scalar or file
if (s/needfind/replacewords/) {
print "needfind was replaced with replacewords\n";
}
}

Looks like pretty messy, non-obvious code to me, whatever it is.

it's a reagular expretion that matches needfind and replaces it with replacewords while $yourfile is true.
