I would make two changes to this:
1) change $/=""; -> undef $/;
2) add s to the end of the regex (this tells perl run the regex accross
the entire string crossing new line boundaries. So the result would be:
find . -name '*.html' -exec perl -pi.bak -e 'undef $/;' -e \
's- width="51"\s+height="20"--gs' '{}' \;
