Thanks for your help, but I still have a few questions:

The code you gave me gives me errors when run:
readline() on unopened filehandle DIR at ./rename.pl line 12.
(Are you trying to call readline() on dirhandle DIR?)
Do you happen to know what that means?

Actually I want it to pattern match. Emacs creates all sorts of files
like rename.pl~ and #rename.pl#.
