in reply to How do I do character substitution on strings stored in a variable

Somewhat related... just in case you actually want to change the names of files themselves from a Unix command line, I have been using a script I downloaded from CPAN:

I also found (but have never used) a similar CPAN module: File::Rename

There is also: How do I do a bulk rename?
