Perl or Shell Script to locate any files that contains a String

Tags: Linux, Fedora, 5, Perl Shell Scripting
Hi guys,

I like to know what do i write in my perl or shell script so that the script can locate any files that contain a particular string for example "Mr. Cool" and it will output the list of files that contain the string.

i.e ./run <path>
# ./run /home
/home/john/coolfile
/home/may/the/the/file
...

Lastly, all the /home/user directory contain a folder called images i.e /home/john/images. Is it possible to delete a index.html and recreate it in all the images dir of all the users' directory?
