I tried using pound signs too... like this:
find ./*.html -type f | xargs perl -p -i.orig -e \ 's#thumbs/#m/gi'
but it gave me an error... So I tried it again like 
find ./*.html -type f | xargs perl -p -i.orig -e \ 's#thumb
s/#m#gi'
after your message, and it worked! I guess I was mixing my #'s and my/'s!

Thanks!

Jamie
