rename is a perl script, and is installed by default as part of the base
Perl install (as /usr/bin/rename) by a lot of Debian-based Linux
distros. It takes a Perl expression and a list of files, renaming those
files according to the results of evaluating the expression.
As a trivial example, 'rename "s/foo/bar/" *.c' would replace 'foo' with
'bar' in the names of all the .c files in the current directory.
But because it's a Perl expression, it gives you a lot of flexibility.
