in reply to more renaming! (mp3s)

You can always find all the files with globbing, like so: 
foreach(<*.mp3>) { }

... might shorten up your code a bit. You could also, stat() each file and check its type, if it's a directory, decend into it and call the function again...

    true, but i thought globbing required csh? some platforms (heck, i've seen some unices even) fail on that. readdir + grep seems to work universally... or at least, until they make a worse universe. (:

      This is no longer true. Starting from perl 5.6.x the glob is performed internally.

        hmm that would make sense. i was using 5.005 patch 3 i believe. at any rate, since playing with
        perl's grep, i now understand map much better now, so it's not a total loss.
