Migrate a perl module

Question

Suppose that I have a perl module Foo::Bar, initiated with module-starter and already have several packages under the namespace Foo::Bar and now I came to the conclusion it was a bad choice for name and want to call it MyBetterName::Bar.

Are there any tool to help in automation this process, without the need to replace all modules, pods, tests and examples. I know, I can write a perl script to do that, but supose again it is the first time I wrote a perl module and don't know very well what files should be envolved.

I tried google but found nothing that seemed to me helpful

Answer 1

Should be enough to globally replace Foo::Bar and Foo/Bar

find -type f -exec perl -i -pe's{Foo(::|-|/)Bar}{MyBetterName${1}Bar}g;' {} +

Then rename the files themselves

find -depth -execdir rename 's/Foo/MyBetterName/g' {} \;
