Thanks now it works! If you have time could you please explain some of this as I am new to perl and still learning. Can you also explain what the -> is doing in this script? Is it pointing to a pre defined perl function? 
use strict;
use File::Find;
use HTML::TokeParser;

my $bak_ext  = '.bak';
my $root_dir = '/perl/bin';

find(\&wanted, $root_dir);

sub wanted {
# if the extension fits...
if ( /\.html?$/i ) {
print "Processing $_\n";
my $new = $_;
my $bak = $_ . $bak_ext;
rename $_, $bak or die "Cannot rename $_ to $bak: $!";
#WHAT IS THE  + DOING HERE????
open NEW, "> $new" or die "Cannot open $new for writing: $!";
        +
my $p = HTML::TokeParser->new( $bak );#WHAT IS THE-> new($bak)DOING
while ( my $token = $p->get_token )    {
#I AM COMPLETELY LOST ON THIS TOKEN PART??
# this index is the 'raw text' of the token
my $text_index = $token->[0] eq 'T' ? 1 : -1;

# it's both a start tag and a meta tag
if ( $token->[0] eq 'S' and $token->[1] eq 'meta' )    {

$token->[ $text_index ] =~ s/FLORIDA\.//g;
                    }

print NEW $token->[ $text_index ]; #WHAT IS THE ->[ $text_index ] ??
}
close NEW;
} else {
print "Skipping $_\n";
}
}
