This is suitable for blind analysis, such as in a laboratory setting. And it's almost certainly easier than trying to create or find an appropriate ImageJ plugin. =) There are no prerequisites or dependencies beyond Perl itself: just download it, make sure it's executable, and run it. On Linux or BSD or Mac, you should already have Perl, and I'd recommend putting it in `/usr/local/bin` and `chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/blindrename.pl`, after which you can just type **blindrename.pl** ***foldername*** and it will obligingly do its thing. On Windows... well, do whatever you need to do to run a Perl script on Windows. (If you're a lost little scientist with only Windows: check out Cygwin or ActivePerl for Windows implementations of Perl.)
