"Not working" is pretty vague -- can you narrow it down? Does it not find the appropriate files? Does it find them but not rename them properly? I see some variables that are undeclared ($get_each_directory, $mrn).. is this all your code? A few things I noticed off the bat though:         my $current_path = 'C:\\temp\\'; Either escape your backslashes or use single quotes, but not both. 
        my $get_files = grep { !-d } @process_file; 
        foreach my $get_files (@process_file) {

Do you mean to iterate through each of the non-directories? Then you probably meant foreach my $get_files (grep { !-d } @process_file)

        } elsif (rename "$newdir/$get_files", "$newdir/$newfile") { I'm not a win32 Perl user, but I'm not convinced using forward slashes will work here.

Also, I'm not sure what's the reasoning with the assignments from scalar to array and back to scalar again at the top of your code.
