Hi,

I'm trying to substitute a string with a Mason variable in a bunch of 
files and not having any luck.  For instance I want to change the 
string 'testtext' to '<% $bURL %>' in a file:

perl -w -i -p -e "s/testtext/'<% \$bURL %>'/g" test.html

..substitutes '<%  %>'

I've tried quotes, double quotes, escape characters in various 
configurations, with no luck.

 perl -e "print '<% \$bURL %>'"

prints what I expect, so I'm lost as to what I need to write for the 
substitution.

thanks,

-charlie
