Monks, I need you again in this hour, when this change is so critical, and my lunch break so near...


I loop through /home/onyx2/www/ and get all files with an .shtml extension. This works.

I open every file, one at a time. This works.

I run the regexp to change out foo-fuu.net with fuuonline.com and it does not work.

What gives? Code below: 


#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;

my @list = glob("/home/onyx2/www/*.shtml");

foreach my $file (@list) {

   open FILE, "$file" or die "open: $!";

   for (<FILE>) {  
     $_ =~ s%foo\-fuu\.net%fuuonline\.com%ig;
     print FILE $_;
     }

   close FILE;

}
