I'm having a problem with sed. -It doesn't like really long single lines.
(in the order of 100k+ plus characters... :)

I'm hoping perl can handle them a little better.
So if I wanted to do somthing like "sed 's/string1/string2/g' filename" in
perl how would I do it? -From a sh script?

I also can't figure out how to put control characters and high ascii in 
regular expressions.  Is their a way to use their hex values?  Tr can do it,
can sed? perl? awk? -The man pages haven't helped nor has the unix faq...

Thanks! :)
