My understanding was that you needed to recursively search through all HTML documents and munge the meta tags. That was a guess because I didn't really know if you wanted HTML docs or not. Here's a list of things to consider:

• Are there any error messages generated?
• Did you change the $root_dir variable to point to the root directory of the documents that you wanted to change?
• To determine if we have a correct document type, I use the following regex to check the extension: /\.html?/i. Is that correct? If not, update the regex. Also, that regex has a bug. It should be /\.html?$/i. Sorry 'bout that. (this bug merely creates extra .bak files. It's recoverable)
• This program lists the files that it is processing and the files that it is skipping. Does that list match your expectations?

Regarding the last bullet point: in the &wanted subroutine, $_ is the current filename you are processing and that is what is getting printed. If you need to tweak which files get processed, this is the variable to take a look at. Read the docs for the File::Find module for more information.

Check those things and you'll have a good idea of how to proceed. I just tossed out the shell of what you were looking for. You'll need to adjust it to suit your personal needs.
