  • Hadn't realised there were (at least) three alternatives. I knew of two - a perl one and what I assume must be the util-linux version Commented Jun 17, 2015 at 14:51

  • @roaima It came up in a previous SO thread: I posted an answer using the syntax of my rename(1) from Unicode::Tussle, and somebody complained some options were not recognized on his version. As it turned out he was using a different rename(1) (an older script munged by the Debian guys, I think). Amazingly, none of the authors thought that rename is actually a really common name and that it would be wise to call it something else instead. Commented Jun 17, 2015 at 14:57
