Perl command inside GNU parallel?
<p>I am trying to run this in parallel:</p>

<pre><code>parallel perl -pe '!/^step/ &amp;&amp; s/(\S+)/sprintf("%.2e", $1)/ge' {} &gt; {}.fix ::: *
</code></pre>

<p>That is, I want to execute the perl command on all files in the current directory, in parallel. This is not working, but I have no idea why.</p>

<p>Comment: The perl command is fixing floating-point numbers in tables. See <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/q/36031317/855050">Replacing precision of floating point numbers in existing file</a>.</p>
