<p>That works, thanks! I must have tested it under sane OS back then. I'd like to list the complete procedure one is required to do under Windows to get Perl renaming work:</p>
<p>1. Get strawberryperl, portable version is just fine (make sure that path to the strawberryperl does not have spaces!)</p>
<p>2. Start strawberryperl command line. And run <code>CPAN Win32::Autoglob</code> (this installs the Autoglob)</p>
<p>3. Copy code of above <code>rename</code> program to the <code>C:\strawberryperl\perl\bin\renamer</code> file
(Windows has program called rename already, so don't use that name)</p>
<p>5. Create copy of file <code>C:\strawberryperl\perl\bin\runperl.bat</code> as name <code>renamer.bat</code> (Contents of this file is not needed to change)</p>
<p>6. Add <code>use Win32::Autoglob;</code> to the renaming code.</p>
<p>Now you should have portable Perl capable renaming script to take with you.</p>
<p>I know the steps I described above are routine tasks, but many times one just wants to rename files and not go through the hassle of learning to install Perl in Windows. So I wish my instruction will help someone.</p>
