I'm trying to rename some files from the command line but nothing gets changed. I think I'm leaving out something; maybe '$_'. Or, I have incorrect syntax. I don't get any error message either. I took a look at 'man rename', but it doesn't show an example of a loop. I'm using the following on the command-line: perl -e 'for (`ls -1`) { rename filename, newfilename if /\w+$/}' Can anyone show me the error of my ways?
