However you like:
1) Plain old globbing: perl -i -pe 's/oldClass/newClass/g' /path/to/files/*
2) Loop: for f in `ls -1 /path/to/files/*.ext` do; perl -i -pe
's/oldClass/newClass/g' $f; done
3) The nifty find: find /path/to/files -name '*.ext' -print -exec perl -i
-pe 's/oldClass/newClass/g' {} \;
Note that this will recurse use -maxdepth 0 for that directory only.
Btw .. I did not test those ... I just wrote them here ... so a proof read
will be good, and copy ur files somewhere else as a safe precaution whenever
you are doing in-place replacements :D
