tired of getting whitespaces in filenames (mp3, pr0n, bosses' latest decree)? 
( @ARGV ) || 
 die "Usage : $0 /some/directory /another/directory\n";

foreach $directory ( @ARGV ) {
 if ( -d $directory ) {
  chdir("$directory");
  convert_dir();
  chdir("-");
 }
}

sub convert_dir {
 chomp( my $dir = `pwd`);
 opendir(DIR,"$dir");
 while ( my $file = readdir DIR ) {
  my $oldname = "$file";
  $file =~ s/\s+/_/g;
#  print "Renaming $oldname to $file\n";
  rename("$oldname","$file");
 }
 close(DIR);
 return 1;
}
