Package: perl Version: 5.14.2-12 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch I modified the Perl distribution file shipped with Debian that is named rename(.pl), so that it renames the target inside symlinks. It is joined to this message.
The modified script, lnrename, is very useful when rename.pl is used and there are symbolic links pointing to the renamed files, since a similar command can fix broken symlinks. In Debian there is currently nothing similar available yet, to my knowledge, at least nothing that is not graphical. I think it should be included in the perl deb because it is based on rename that is already there. If it cannot, can you suggest a package that could include it? The name `lnrename' is just a suggestion. -- G.raud
