I'm trying to use File::Find module to rename recursively certain chars in folder names in my directory tree. The code looks like this
#!/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use File::Find;
use File::Copy;
my $path = $ARGV[0];
my $from = $ARGV[1];
my $to = $ARGV[2];
die "You must supply a full directory path" unless (-e $path && -d $pa
+th);
find(\&renamedir, "$path");
sub renamedir {
next if -f $_;
next if /^\./;
my $new_name = $_;
$new_name =~ s/$from/$to/g;
chdir($File::Find::dir);
move($_, $new_name) or die $!;
}
When I e.g. call this script like this to convert a string "John" to "Matt"
C:\>Replace.pl "C:/Temp/" John Matt
I get an error saying that
"Can't cd to (C:/Temp/) John : No such file or directory.
So, it seems that the problem is that the script changes the folder name before it tries to cd into it. How could I tackle this problem? Thanks!

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
