For all cases so far, I haven't had any need to replace multiple lines. So this was easier. I used: $> perl -p -i.bak -e "s/ToBeReplaced/ReplacedWith/g;" index.php and I could use a file pattern instead of only single file (index.php above) or explicitly name the files I want changed. And I guess multiple '-e s/pattern1/pattern2/g' would do multiple subsitutions at once. So for simple string replacements, this is workng fine. I am yet to encounter a case with multiple lines.
