I am not usually a Perl advocate, but Perl has an option to do
in-place editing (the -i option, I think).  Probably some combination
of that and a perl-ified sed expression sounds like "appropriate
technology" in this case.

On the other hand, appropriate combinations of grep, backtick and sed
at Mr. Shell would also work.
