What you are seeking to do is essentially this: move the first file to a temp file: mv file1.ext /tmp/file1.ext move the second file to the first file: mv file2.ext file1.ext move the temp file to the second file: mv /tmp/file1.ext file2.ext
You can do this with a system call for each of the moves. Extensions and names won't matter, as you will be giving them the name and extension when you do the moves. I'd help with the code snippets, but I am in PHP mode and my perl is weak at best...
