1File-Rename version 1.20
2========================
3
4File::Rename provides an implementation of Larry Wall's eg/rename
5command. All I have done is add some error checking and (more recently)
6add the File/Rename.pm module.
7
8An earlier version of the script is out in the Internet and is included
9with some linuxes, and the original eg/rename is not included in the
10Perl distribution, so I have put this up on CPAN.
11
12A revised version of the earlier script is now on the Internet,
13which includes more options. This script, distinguished by
14"Getopt::Long::Configure('bundling')", was not written by me; I think
15the author is Aristotle Pagaltzis. Version 0.10 of this distribution
16has similar options to the revised script.
17
18For Windows, the script is called file-rename to avoid clashes with
19existing rename command.
20
21In 1.00, File::Require::Options is a separate module,
22and is not made visible by C<require File::Rename>.
