The perl script you wrote does almost exactly as wanted, it's just the rename command that does not work with no error message.
Can't seem to see why, I've opened up permissions etc but no luck.
Any ideas?
Thanks

DESCRIPTION
This module provides routines to format dates. They correspond to the libc routines. &strftime() supports a pretty good set of coversions
-- more than most C libraries.
strftime supports a pretty good set of conversions.
The POSIX module has very similar functionality. You should consider using it instead if you do not have allergic reactions to system
libraries.
