Trace statement finder/remover

Having my actionscript code split across different files for each class is great but it does make it harder to find where rogue trace() statements are coming from.

I made this handy Perl tool to scan through all the .as files in a directory looking for these trace statements. It has three modes:

Find - print a report giving the file and line number of all trace statements
Comment - comment out all of the trace statements in the directory
Remove - remove trace statement lines from the file

It will ignore any previously commented out trace statements. You can download the code from here.
