Real world problem: I have a group of files buried within a hierarchy. They need renaming regardless of their extension by referring an unordered list of name pairs: Old Name and New Name separated by whatever delimiter I want; let's say a comma. I am thinking of a script using the modules file::find and list::Compare, where the list::compare module intersects the list of files reaped from the find::file routine. Am I barking up the right tree or just barking mad? I am really inexperienced at coding perl. I searched a lot before I asked the question here but I don't see anything exactly like what I am saying. Another solution on this site just didn't seem like it would do what I wanted (there was no use of either module) maybe I am making too big a deal out of it. Thanks!
