I moved hundreds of lists (thousands of log files) from VM to UNIX with
a couple of PERL scripts. I issued the equivalent of the UNIX commands
"rename 'tr /A-Z/a-z/' *" which will change all file names in the current
directory from upper to lower case.
 
In PERL this looks like "$foobar=~tr/A-Z/a-z/;" which will change the case of
foobar's name from upper to lower. "tr" is the translate command.
