Perl Utilities

The following are brief descriptions of each of the Perl utility programs contained in perlutil.zip (10K). All of these programs were written for use under Linux, but unless otherwise noted below, it should be a simple matter to adapt them to work under other operating systems (provided there`s a Perl interpreter available.) All of these programs are covered by the GNU General Public License.

calc

This is a simple little program that allows you to do basic math at the command line. It only understands Perl expressions, but these are almost always the same as regular mathematical expressions.

newext

This program renames each file in the current directory that ends with the extension specified as the first argument so that it ends with the extension specified as the second argument instead.
