[TriLUG] Changing case of files and folders

[William Sutton]

you need a perl script...preferably something on the order of the 
following:

-----
#!/usr/bin/perl
# use strict;

# usage:  script_name directory_to_process
my $dir = $ARGV[0];
my @files = `find $dir -type f -print`;

foreach my $file (@files)
{
    chomp($file);
    my $new = uc($file);
    `mv $dir/$file $dir/$new`;
}
-----

Of course I suggest you test that before running it, but it ought to do 
the trick...
