doesn't everyone have a perl script that fixes spaces in files?

... they should:


#!/usr/bin/perl -w

### fix_fn_keep_ext.pl ###

if( ! defined($ARGV[0]) ){
    die "$0 <file>[files...]\n";
}

foreach ( @ARGV ){
    if( -f $_ ){
        rename( $_ , fix_fn( $_ ) );
    } else { 
        die "$file is not a file(or doesn\'t exist)";
    }
}
