G'day pawaniitd,

Welcome to the monastery.

This line:

my $old = "output/download/$FILES[2]";

[download]

looks very wrong to me. $FILES[2] will be the third directory entry read from "output/download". Are you sure that's what you want?

I suggest you change the last line in your foreach block to: 

#move ($old, $new);  # $new is the URL of the new filename
print "old='$old'; new='$new'\n";

[download]

When you see each line of output contains "new=''", add 

use strict;

[download]

to the top of your script. It will tell you about this and other problems you may have. You'll also benefit from adding: 

use warnings;

[download]

to find out about other types of problems you didn't notice.

The next issue, now that your script compiles, will (probably) be "old='old_filename'" having the same value in every iteration of the loop. I suspect you'll need to rethink how you set $old.

[I don't use Firefox so I can't help with your tabbing issues.]
