In perl one might write this:

	s/^label:if:var=".*"/label:if:var="$myvalue"/;

Personally I would probably split on ':', deal with the individual pieces,
then join them back together as a more general solution.

I would also be more likely to do this in python now as I've been writing a
lot more python than perl for several years now (and will be doing a
presentation at next month's Seattle Perl User Group comparing python and
perl which should be fun :-).
