FM12: Quirks in Find/replace using RegEx (Perl)

[Ed Nodland]

I work with on a windows environment and write Perl scripts regularly to
adjust HTML, MIF, XML and other UTF-8 files using RegEx. Sometimes its a
single file other times a folder structure of files. IF you need a small
perl script I be glad to donate to this group.
