I'm looking to use a CGI script to move / rename a directory. I can't
find anything under Dir:: or File:: that looks appropriate and making a
shell command `in back-ticks` is out of the question as I'm using POST
data to determine which directory to move. What's the appropriate
mechanism for moving files in Ruby?

suffering increases your inner strength. also, the wishing for suffering
makes the suffering disappear.

FileUtils looks perfect! Thanks. Every time I feel like I'm getting
somewhere with Ruby, I find out I've been missing some obvious bit the
whole time. I couldn't even find this on Google!

That's the first place I looked. I glossed over the modules listed below
File without thinking about it. There were a lot of them, and usually in
a situation like that, I end up going down a lot of dead-end roads. Just
goes to show what I get for being cynical!
