in reply to Rename problem

Perhaps the rename failed. But you never know if you don't check the return value of rename.

    Thanks Abigail-II, I actually changed the line but no change in filename or error reported.
    Is there another way to check the return value

      What "another way"? You used no way....

      A typical way is: 

          rename ($old, $new) or die "Failed to rename $old to $new: $!\n";

        Abigail, How can it be failing if there is a new file name created. It is just the wrong name.
