in thread rename files with mtime
Speaking of idioms...
after which you can sayrename $file, $new_name;
The following idiom helps prevents renaming disasters:
rename $file, $new_name unless -e $new_name;
That is, don't rename a file if it would cause an existing file to be unlinked. It's easier to fix up the mess of a file that hasn't been renamed than one that no longer exists...
