For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
Renaming files

Posted by kitwalker2886 (kitwalker2886), 30 May 2007
i took your advice and did the modification and writing in a new file and then renamed it to the original  filename..
  i first named the new files as mod_$filename. Then globbed the directory for a list of all mod_* files..

  @rename_list=<mod_*>;

Then i did a loop to rename all mod_filename as filename.
  foreach(@rename_list)
 {
    $filename=substr($_,index($_,'mod_')+4);
    rename($_,$filename);
  }

 but something weird happens.. all the files get renamed except for the last file on the rename list.
  i thought maybe som prob with the file and so i deleted that particular file from the directory. But still the last of the remaining files doesn't get renamed.
   Any idea why this is so...?

I can't see anything odd from a quick look through that.   Have you printed out the @rename list completely so see if the problem is in the globbing or in the loop?   That's the next thing I would do.
