Help needed with shell script to search and replace a set of strings among the set of files

Hi,

I am looking for a shell script which serves the below purpose.
Please find below the algorithm for the same and any help on this would be highly appreciated.

1)set of strings need to be replaced among set of files(directory may contain different types of files)
2)It should search for the type of files for which replace must be done

Please find below the algorithm for the same and any help on this would be highly appreciated.
Code:
######
#below mapped texts must be replaced
######
SEARCH_N_REPLACE={
abc = test1
efg = test2
gfdg = test3
}
######
#directory may contain pdf/txt/jpg files but it should only consider the #mentioned files here {html,htm,css,js}. 
#######

SEARCH_IN_FILES= {html,htm,css,js}


######

sync.log contains file paths as below:
Code:
./testing/file.pdf
./sample.jpg
./example.html
./testcondition.css

######

Code:
foreach line in sync.log #line means each file path 
foreach ext SEARCH_IN_FILES #should search for extension type of file
if line.ext is ext #if matches the extension
foreach term SEARCH_N_REPLACE
searchterm=parse:SEARCH_N_REPLACE
replaceterm=parse:SEARCH_N_REPLACE
perl -pie 's/searchterm/replaceterm'
perl -pie 's/searchterm/replaceterm' line

Thanks in advance!!!

Locale::Currency(3pm)					 Perl Programmers Reference Guide				     Locale::Currency(3pm)

NAME
Locale::Currency - standard codes for currency identification SYNOPSIS
use Locale::Currency; $curr = code2currency('usd'); # $curr gets 'US Dollar' $code = currency2code('Euro'); # $code gets 'eur' @codes = all_currency_codes(); @names = all_currency_names(); DESCRIPTION
The "Locale::Currency" module provides access to standard codes used for identifying currencies and funds, such as those defined in ISO 4217. Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default ISO 4217 three-letter codes will be used. SUPPORTED CODE SETS
There are several different code sets you can use for identifying currencies. A code set may be specified using either a name, or a constant that is automatically exported by this module. For example, the two are equivalent: $curr = code2currency('usd','alpha'); $curr = code2currency('usd',LOCALE_CURR_ALPHA); The codesets currently supported are: alpha, LOCALE_CURR_ALPHA This is a set of three-letter (uppercase) codes from ISO 4217 such as EUR for Euro. Two of the codes specified by the standard (XTS which is reserved for testing purposes and XXX which is for transactions where no currency is involved) are omitted. This is the default code set. num, LOCALE_CURR_NUMERIC This is the set of three-digit numeric codes from ISO 4217. ROUTINES
code2currency ( CODE [,CODESET] ) currency2code ( NAME [,CODESET] ) currency_code2code ( CODE ,CODESET ,CODESET2 ) all_currency_codes ( [CODESET] ) all_currency_names ( [CODESET] ) Locale::Currency::rename_currency ( CODE ,NEW_NAME [,CODESET] ) Locale::Currency::add_currency ( CODE ,NAME [,CODESET] ) Locale::Currency::delete_currency ( CODE [,CODESET] ) Locale::Currency::add_currency_alias ( NAME ,NEW_NAME ) Locale::Currency::delete_currency_alias ( NAME ) Locale::Currency::rename_currency_code ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] ) Locale::Currency::add_currency_code_alias ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] ) Locale::Currency::delete_currency_code_alias ( CODE [,CODESET] ) These routines are all documented in the Locale::Codes::API man page.
