The code was just lying around on my harddisk, but I now pushed it to github (and will put it on CPAN soon): http://github.com/domm/App-FixFilenames/ Maybe you can extract some bits you like, or join me working on my codebase :-) PS: Some cheap MP3 players (based on USB flash drives) do not even sort the files by name, but by inode creation time (or something similar obscure). The only way to get songs on correct order on those player is to copy them in the correct order. Which most OSes don't do, if you just copy a whole directory. I plan to add a feature to App-FixFilenames for solving that problem (hm, maybe I'll just f*king do it now..) I also had this (and other..) problems and wrote some tools to solve it.
