Hey, I am kind of new to Perl and am trying to right a script that goes through a huge text file and masks IP addresses. I have it working so far that it will mask the first IP in the line, but can't quite get it to mask all ips in the line. Example file might be 
set something 111.111.111.111 255.255.255.0

[download]
the code that I am using is 
if (/\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}/){
  s/\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}/xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/;
  print VPNOUTFILE "$_";
}

[download]
The output that I am getting would be like 
set something xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 255.255.255.0

[download]
The output that I am looking for is 
set something xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Appreciate the help!
