For some general solutions to renaming files, see Larry's historic rename script: http://www.csit.fsu.edu/~burkardt/pl_src/rename/rename.html Aristotle's modern facelift of that script at: http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=303814 and the Unix rename faq: http://www.faqs.org/faqs/unix-faq/faq/part2/section-6.html Renaming files is also discussed in Perl Cookbook, recipe 9.9. I think the beginners@perl.org mailing list is more appropriate for this type of question.
