[Novalug] perl help | filename spaces

[Richard Barnes]

One solution here (kind of a hack):
<http://www.macgeekery.com/tips/cli/handling_filenames_with_spaces_in_bash>

With that, it would be:
find . -type f | while read FILE; do perl -e "s/news.html/news\//g;"
-pi.save "$FILE" ; done

Not quite as snappy, but it seems to work for me.
