in thread iterating hash keys?

For an effective solution to your problem, see BrowserUK's comment below. As to why the code you've shown doesn't work, it's probably because you're storing each line of your file/array in $line, but doing your substitution against $_. Try this: $line =~ s/$find/$replace/g.
