"-R" was gone.
Then I looked at the man page and found the Python traceback in it,
after:
$ man rpl
I got:

NAME
Traceback - replace strings in files
DESCRIPTION
Basic usage is to specify two strings and one or more filenames or
directories on the command line. The first string is the string
to replace, and the second string is the replacement string.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./rpl", line 16, in <module>
from chardet.universaldetector import UniversalDetector
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'chardet'
File "./rpl", line 16, in <module>
from chardet.universaldetector import UniversalDetector
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'chardet'

Replace all occurrences of ‘F’ (on word boundaries) with ‘A’ in all text
files under the grades/ directory:
find grades/ -name '*.txt' | xargs rpl -wd 'F' 'A'
