Yeah, I thought about that, but the pre-existing rename call had || and I didn't want to deviate from the existing style; I'm not a good enough Perl programmer to be entitled to have opinions about Perl style. Probably all of this code could use a visit from the Perl style police. I wonder if anyone's tried perlcritic on it recently. regards, tom lane
