I have a whole set of web files; about 40 of them.
I would like to change a block of text in each one
(the text is a trailer section that is consistant in each one).

I am a little stumped about how to write a little perl 
routine to do this.  Does Perl have a built in function
that can identify and replace a whole block of lines of text?

Anyone have a little pointer about the best way to go about doing
something like this?

If I have to edit each file manually, and make the changes,
I  might go insane!

Thanks very much!
I can be reached directly at dilcher@cueva.com.
