... and while we're editing each others one-liners, don't forget to
account for the fact there may be more files in that directory than will
fit on your shells command line, so instead of that asterisk at the end,
do something like this:
find . -print0 | xargs -0 perl -pi -e 's/KPushButton/QPushButton/g'

(which also works around the possibility that some filenames are screwed)

Also remember to anchor your regexps, there are some times you really
don't want to replace *every* occurrance.. just every one that's a
function call, or at the beginning or end of a line, etc.  And anchored
regexp's usually run faster too :)
