Hello,

What is the best way do to search and replace operation on a whole directory on a UNIX 
box?

Sed?
Awk?
Perl?

I know this is wrong, what I want to do is a search and replace,
find '../forum_idx.pl' and replace with '../forum_idx.pl'

I have to hit a whole directory with this change, (and it would be a valuable skill to 
know how to this)

Here is my starting point:

perl -e 'foreach $file (glob("*")) {grep '../forum_idx.pl' 
'../cgi-bin/forum_idx.pl');}'

Thanks for your help,
Dave
