Worked on the handling of URLs: the exporter module in Movable Type must be antiquated, as it follows an old convention for URLs, separating words with underscores instead of hyphens, although MT switched to hyphens years ago.

So I wrote a little Perl code to change the exported output. Getting rid of this discrepancy lets me drop some web server redirects I’d installed to map old links with hyphens into the new URLs with underscores.

Re-imported the old posts.
