[Gprename-users] RE : Wailing, Anguish, Rending of clothes and Weeping

[Zurd <zu...@ya...>]

Seriously, that is so much of a coincidence that I almost finish coding it
in gtk2-perl right now.  Awesome.  You just came in at the right moment.

It's right there now for gtk2-perl :
http://gprename.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/gprename/
You can always get it with :  svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/gprename gprename
If you don't have Subversion tough I could always make a .tar.bz2 file of it and send it
to you.

As you can read from my last post, it's not complete, but it is functional.

Guess I'll be able to sleep well tonight then ;)
