in reply to Changing data in alot of files

Use the commandline options. Something along the lines of:
perl -lne 's/aaaaa/FFFFF/gi;s/bbbbb/EEEEE/gi; ...;'
That will do the changing in-place. Look at your Camel book for further reference.

    I believe you forgot the '-i' option to change files in place.
