Perl as a Better Sed Command
How it Works


perl -wlp -i.bak -e 's/old/new/g;' F

  -wlp: warnings, auto- carriage returns,
                 auto- input processing and printing
-i.bak: in-place editing; original saved as file.bak

      -e: execute program in following argument

     F: file(s) to be processed

s/old/new/g: change occurrences of old to new
