Subject: Re: one liner in Windows to replace string
Looks good but it bombs ... the Perl interpreter crashes from
the DOS prompt ... using version 5.10.0 build 1005 from ActiveState.
I am running AS 5.8.9 and when I run from cmd32.exe, it
never comes back to me again. If I run under MKS Korn shell, then all is
fine using the code that Shawn provides. I am not doing the update, but
just printing out 14 files using the glob concept. So 5.10 aborts and
5.8.9 hangs. Not a good setup, but it is Windows. ;))
If you have any questions and/or problems, please let
me know.
Thanks.
Wags ;)

But it was better than what I had, that's for sure
This makes for a bit of a mind teaser thanks to it being on
Windoze ... :-)

Programming is as much about organization and communication
as it is about coding.
I like Perl; it's the only language where you can bless your
thingy.
