I’m running into a small problem with my file renaming where some letters are capitalized differently than I’d like them to be when I use the %title function.

The [`%tcp` plugin](https://github.com/trapd00r/beets-tcp) was suggested to me in [that topic](https://discourse.beets.io/t/title-album-giving-me-strange-results/2466) but this step in the instructions is confusing me, I’m not sure what to do with it:

if I go into beets and just run ‘perl’ I get the command not found error.

Does anyone use this plugin or have any input on what I’m supposed to do to with this step in the instructions?

You don’t actually need to run that command - all it does is replace all occurrences of `%title{field}` with `%tcp{field}` in your configuration - it’s probably easier to just do it by hand.

Thank you, I think you’re right.
