I cant seem to get this working. I have been trying for ages but with no succes. the results are printed below 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

BEGIN {
    $|=1;
    print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
    use CGI::Carp('fatalsToBrowser');
}

use strict;
my $file;


my $path = '/home/costas/test';

opendir (DIR, $path) or die "Can't opendir: $!";

for (readdir DIR) {
print "$_<br>";
    rename("$path/$_", lc("$path/$_")) or print "Couldn't rename $file
+: $!\n";
}

closedir DIR;
