Like this:

#!/usr/bin/perl 
use strict;
use warnings;  
use File::Find;

sub callback {

    my $file = $_;
    rename $file,"reference_$file" if -f $file

}

my $dir = 'C:/Image_Repository';

find (\&callback, $dir);

Of course, there is always More Than One Way To Do It, so you can "hand craft" it if you enjoy lots of typing, but it probably won't be as efficient as using File::Find.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
