996	refactoring: renaming of hash keys	zenogantner		"Another nice refactoring feature would be the renaming of hash keys in the current scope.

E.g. you want to rename the key 'replace' to 'replace_button' in the following code:
{{{

	# The ""Replace"" button
	$self->{replace} = Wx::Button->new(
		$self,
		Wx::wxID_REPLACE,
		Wx::gettext(""&Replace""),
	);
	Wx::Event::EVT_BUTTON(
		$self,
		$self->{replace},
		sub {
			$_[0]->replace_button;
		}
	);
	Wx::Event::EVT_CHAR(
		$self->{replace},
		sub {
			$self->hotkey( $_[1]->GetKeyCode );
		}
	);
	$self->{replace}->SetDefault;
}}}

Then having this rename-feature would come in handy, and it would be nicer to use than the normal 'search and replace' function.

The functionality could be integrated into one action 'rename' that renames several other things like variables, subroutines, or modules.
Having a menu entry and a context menu entry for the one action won't make the user interface more complicated, just more consistent."	enhancement	new	minor		Refactoring Perl 5	0.69		refactoring, hash key, rename
