Hi Monks,
This code works great, but when I run it I can see the changes but when I look inside of the diretory the files aren't changing, any explanation for it?
Thank you!

#!/perl/bin/perl -w

use strict;

# Open 'find' process to list files recursively with paths

#my $path_to_dir = shift;
print "Opening Directory\n";

my $path_to_dir = "c:/progra~1/apache~1/apache2/htdocs/test";

dir("$path_to_dir");

sub dir {
  opendir(DIR,"$_[0]");
  my @list_of_files = readdir(DIR);
  foreach(@list_of_files) {
      print "BEFORE: $_\n";
   if($_ ne "." && $_ ne "..") {
    if(-d "$_[0]/$_") {
        dir("$_[0]/$_");
    }
    else {
    $_ =~ s/\ /_/ig;  
        rename "$_[0]/$_","$_[0]/\L$_";
        print "AFTER: $_[0]/$_,$_[0]/\L$_\n\n";
    }
   }
  }
}

print "\n\nDone!... ;-)";
