Recursive find and replace

\_ Anybody have a quick easy way to do recursive find and replace?
\_
\_ Here is my complicated stab at it, but I must say this was a pain to
\_ write. I think there must be a utility for doing this to make this
\_ much much much easier?

find $TOPDIR -type f -exec perl -pi.bak -e 's/&10\.10\.0\.52&i/10.0.0.68/g' {} \;

Provides a nice backup in case one of us botches the RE.

Test before use. YMMV.
