I am looking for a way to create a script that can do a search and replace on all html files in a directory and all subdirectories.

I have found out how to do it in all the files in a directory, but not how to include the subdirectories.

Any help would be appreciated. Here is what I have to replace one string with another on all .htm files in a directory, the question really is how do I make it include directories under the current directory?

perl -i -pe 's/replacethis/withthat/g' *.htm

Note those are backwards apostrophes.

I did not originally ask the question, but that was very helpful. Thanks.

I think below mentioend URL will also help:
