in reply to Rename problem

What contents does $old_title have? The Code is nearly allright: It renames 'archive.txt' to whatever is in $the_old_title and $the_old title is wahetevr was in $old_title with appended '.shtml'. You can rely on that.

What is actually happening?

Please check `perldoc -q "quoting.*vars"`!

    $old_title is just a string of chars.
    What is actually happening? the resulting name is incorrect. It is missing the file extension ie .shtml
