If this was a toy problem to play with the glue, then ignore
this post.


If you just need to rename a folder, you guessed right that
rename will do the trick:

#!perl
chdir "Macintosh HD:Desktop Folder:";
$oldName = "old jeep";
$newName = "new jeep";

rename( $oldName,$newName);
__END__



or you could do this:

#!perl
$oldName = "Macintosh HD:Desktop Folder:old jeep";
$newName = "Macintosh HD:Desktop Folder:new jeep";

rename( $oldName,$newName);
__END__


or this:
#!perl
rename ("Macintosh HD:Desktop Folder:old jeep",
        "Macintosh HD:Desktop Folder:new jeep"
);
__END__
