Description:

will take a list of directory names that are subdirectories to the location of rename.pl and rename all image files in thoses directories to directoryname####.ext

this is my first program written in perl, don't know if any one would have a use for it but i would like some feedback.

#!perl
# rename.pl [dir1]...[dir##]
# takes a list of directorys as parameters
# renames all files in given directory to dir####
# not sure if it will run on other OS besides Win32
