Hello monks, I thought I knew how to do this, but apparently I don't:

$ perl mpj2.pl
file: /home/dan/Desktop/upload
$ ls /home/dan/Desktop/upload

$ cat mpj2.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my @files = </home/dan/Desktop/upload>;
my $counter = 0;

for my $img (@files) {
  print "file: $img\n";
  $counter++;
  my $filename = "image_". "$counter";

}

$
[download]

Had I been successful, I would have seen these files all renamed to the concatenation of image_ and a number. Thanks for your comment.

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.
