Just a couple points:

Perl will usually 'do the right thing' if you use '/' as the directory separator. This way I can use your script on my linux box and Mac OS X laptop as well as my W2K system without edits:

chdir "d:/music/new";
is the same as
chdir "d:\\music\\new";

Instead of hard coding the directory (or using Getopt::*), you could do:

my $music_dir = shift || "d:/music/new"; chdir $music_dir;

Which allows 'mp3_sorter.pl' (to process d:\music\new) as well as 'mp3_sorter.pl /Volumes/myafp/mp3' (to process the mp3s on an AppleTalk share).

For little hacks, I'll embed string constants. But I try to make it easy to override them if at all possible.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
