Thanks.
I am a Perl/Unix dummy. Could you help with the following?
1. Do you have a link to download and get Perl installed in WinXP?
2. Do I create the file with a text editor? What extension do I name
it with?
3. How do I run it? From command line? Do I specify the directory
path as parameter? Will it fix all the subdirectories in that path?
4. From the above program logic, would it move all the accented and
renamed file to a single directory? And in which case I move it back
to the original directory manually?
Thanks again, this would be really helpful!
John
