[wplug] case utility

[Teodorski, Christopher]

Here is my attempt at an explanation of the particular issue at hand:

A web application was written for Windows.  Thus allowing said
developers to play fast and loose with case, i.e. the file name is
myimage.jpg -- however in the code, it is referred to as MyImage.jpg and
myImage.jpg and mYiMage.jpg.    This works fine in Windows because as we
all know Windows is case insensitive (except when it isn't).  

However, this application is looking for a new home on a *nix box and
features many 404's now because of the above mentioned case issue when
run on *nix.

The question is:  Is there a good way to grab a filename from a
directory -- and match it regardless of case within all files in the
directory and if a match is found replace it with the proper case. 

It sounds to me like a job for Perl -- but I'm a Perl noob and it'd take
me some serious time to get my head wrapped around this (although I'm
going to give it the old college try).

I'm sorry, what you have said doesn't make any sense.  Could you
describe what you want to do with a bit more detail?  Maybe give an
example of what you'd expect?
