Sed help

[Daegalus]

I downloaded webmin but in all the files the path to perl is wrong, so i made a loop script that supposed to change it, but it doesnt work. Im using sed, but im not sure i have it setup properly cause i get this error:

sed: -e expression #1, char 11: Unknown option to 's'

#! /bin/sh
for i in `ls -l *.pl
do
sed -e 's/!# /usr/local/bin/perl /#! /usr/bin/perl'
echo "$i done."
done

Thanks.

Hi,

here is a working example...

#! /bin/sh
for i in `ls -l *.pl`
do
cat $i |sed 's/#!\/usr\/local\/bin\/perl/#!\/usr\/bin\/perl/' > $i
echo "$i done."
done

But I would use this instead...

 perl -i -pe 's/#!\/usr\/local\/bin\/perl/#!\/usr\/bin\/perl/' *.pl
