Many thanks Sridhar,
Can I run my results past you again.
I copied the perl text to a text file called chcase and inserted it
in /usr/local/bin, as follows,

root]# cd /usr/local/bin
 bin]# ls
chcase        divxPlayer*      fsgrab*    lexmarkz53@  mplayer*
compupic@     divxPlayer.bin*  gmplayer@  lxsetconf@
cvs_mplayer*  e2recover*       gxset*     mencoder*

bin]# cd
root]# chmod 755 chcase
chmod: failed to get attributes of `chcase': No such file or directory
I do not understand ?  what attributes ?

root]# # chmod 755 chcase
root]# 
It didn't seem to mind this.so,

root]# cd /root/Desktop/mont

mont]# ls
DSCI0001.JPG  DSCI0004.JPG  DSCI0007.JPG  DSCI0010.JPG  DSCI0013.JPG
DSCI0002.JPG  DSCI0005.JPG  DSCI0008.JPG  DSCI0011.JPG  DSCI0014.JPG
DSCI0003.JPG  DSCI0006.JPG  DSCI0009.JPG  DSCI0012.JPG
All present and correct.

mont]# chcase
bash: /usr/local/bin/chcase: Permission denied
So I went to directory mont and gave all the permissions,but,

mont]# chcase
bash: /usr/local/bin/chcase: Permission denied
still permission denied

I guess it is something to do with the way the first, chmod 755 chcase
was rejected, while,# chmod 755 chcase was accepted , could this be 
correct do you think.Note the inclusion of the # 
Any further ideas ?

regards,

John
