[lug] Perl question

[JEFF PFOHL]

I'm not a Perl guru. Why don't you just do this in /bin/sh?

#!/bin/sh
# this script converts file names from upper to lower case
for FILE in *
do
mv $FILE `echo $FILE|tr [A-Z] [a-z]`
done

"My grandfather once told me that there are two kinds of people: 
 Those who do the work and those who take the credit. He told me to 
 try to be in the first group; there was much less competition."

 - Indira Ghandi, the late Prime Minister of India
