Re: rename 0.3 - now with two extra cupholders

I have a small suggestion/request. Provide a switch other than -h to "browse the manpage" and use -h to provide just the synopsis. That's the usual function of -h and I found it just a tad annoying that looking for help while running as root got me a "Superuser must not run /usr/bin/perldoc. . ." message.

-sauoq

Ok, that's simple to fix.. another thing I often found myself minorly annoyed with is that I have to make sure all directories any files might end up in exist beforehand. So requesting path autocreation for files is going to be a feature in the next time version. Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply]

If the requested path is "/some/where/else", and only "/some" exists, would you create "where/else" or just "else"? How would you go about this: on failure of simple "mkdir()" would you run "File::Path:mkpath()" (or similar) or just run "File::Path::mkpath()" in the first place?	[reply]

Just `mkpath` everything, no need to check. If the path already fully exists, `mkpath` will just fail harmlessly. Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply]
