Search and Replace over Multiple Files

Sometimes you need to search and replace strings over multiple files. This can easily be done using perl. I found this tip from www.liamdelahunty.com/tips

perl -pi -w -e 's/search/replace/g;' *.php

-e means execute the following line of code.
-i means edit in-place
-w write warnings
-p loop
