Instead of executing the commands immediately, just print the commands
to a file. Then run a few of the commands manually. If you're
satisfied, then run the file as a shell/batch script and capture the
output to a log file. system("svn mv $_ $1.cpp") becomes print "svn mv
$_ $1.cpp\n".

Also, you didn't wrap the filenames in quotes. If any of the filenames
had whitespace in them, the command would have failed: print qq(svn mv
"$_" "$1.cpp"\n).
