You may wish to see rename. While you're at it, you may wish to read the fine manual. stephen	[reply]

rename is the perl directive to use, but it does not work across file systems, so I usually do something like this: `rename( $source, $dest ) or system( "/bin/mv", $source, $dest ) and die ( "Move from $source to $dest failed - $!" );` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
