    Have to go to n-levels in the directory. This will only work for the current directory.

    By the way, I get the message "Can't open *.dsp: Invalid argument.". Remember this is windows :-(

      Without additional options it'll glob the usual way, if you do it like this 

      perl -MG=R -pi.bak -e"s#\bGPP\b#Arjun#i;" *.dsp

      it'll glob recursively.

      P.S.: You can install the module by PPM from http://jenda.krynicky.cz/perl
