Is this is a error ?

[Quek Meng-Chong]

Hi all

Here's a oneliner perl I've gotten from a colleague when I had to migrate
from BIND8.1.2 to 8.2.2P5.  Using Perl 5.

perl -ni.bak -e 'print "$TTL X\n" if /^\@\s+IN\s+SOA/; print' FILE

where X is the variable for $TTL in seconds and FILE is the zonefile you
want to modify.  The whole commands means that for the FILE you want to
edit, look for the SOA and edit in place the $TTL  X; a FILE.bak is
created as well.

Remove the .bak if you feel confident and use * instead for FILE to edit a
whole directory of zonefiles.

Hope this helps...
