Use find, sideshow David!

To find all regular files under /path/to/website and feed them as
arguments to the perl snippet:

find -xtype f /path/to/website | xargs perl -i -pe
's/foo.bar/bar.foo/g;s/\r/\n/g'

I haven't tested that yet. Nor have I finished my morning caffeine hit.
Your mileage will most likely vary.
