I have a case where I need to change the value of a variable in a number of Perl scripts. How would I take the results of a grep command and apply a change to it? For instance, if I issue the command: 'grep -r smtp_addr *' and get a bunch of results like: 1stfile: $smtp_adrr = "old_value"; 2ndfile: $smtp_adrr = "old_value"; 3rdfile: $smtp_adrr = "old_value"; 4thfile: $smtp_adrr = "old_value"; v/r -Mike
