Taking the chicken way out... but I can't think of the right tricky
search strings to uncover a tried and true way to output a 3 digit
padded numeric series. In this case its for file names. And needs to
roll over to 4 digit in the event there are enough files.
There is no problem of clobbering since files are being renamed as
they are moved to a new clean directory. I just can't recall how to
make my incremented counter start at 000 and go:
001.ext
002.ext
003.ext
etc.
Its just the numeric part I need a jump start on.
Believe it or not, write the number as a string.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
for ( '000' .. '100' ){
print "$_\n";
}
