Re: Rename a directory!!

    Just use rename "oldname", "newname";
    This will not work if you are moving the directory
    to a different filesystem. In which case you need to
    copy and delete every thing.

      Use the standard File::Copy module's move command to move/rename files or directories across filesystem boundries.

    Use rename, where's the problem? The fact that there are subdirectories doesn't matter.
