I'm doing a perl modify in place for a directory full of html files, yet I
have several directories which have too many files for this:
bash# perl -pi -e 's/oldtext/newtext/g' *html
bash: /bin/perl: Argument list too long
Any suggestions on how to work with this? The most files in a directory are
60,000.
