Random RedWolf OneLiners

Ok, I got inspired while converting my MP3 collection to Ogg Vorbis. Here's a few oneliners I used.

Convert all MP3's in directories given to it.

perl -e 'while(<>){chomp;print "*** $_ ***\n";chdir"$_";system "mp32og
+g --maxbitrate 128 *.mp3";}'

Clean up any duplicate messes in current directory that may belong someplace else.

perl -e 'while(<>){chomp;@z=`find . -name "$_"`;unlink $_ if($#z);}' <
+ temp.txt

Check out `perl -h` or perlrun and read up on some of the neat switches that are available on the command line e.g. `perl -lne 'chomp; print "* $_ "; chdir "$_"; system "mp32ogg --maxbitrate 128 .mp3"'` [download] The `-n` sticks a `while(<>){ }` around the code and `-l` (by default) sets `$\` to `$/`.
