    appeared as a dozen-line simple example at least as early as 1989 in
    "eg/" subdirectory of the Perl 3.0 source code (while regex itself was
    introduced just a year earlier in Perl 2.0). Later in Perl 5.8 the
    examples subdirectory was removed from the source code. Currently there
    are at least three evolutions from this script on CPAN: rename by Peder
    Stray (since 2000), File::Rename by Robin Barker (since 2005), and
    App::FileTools::BulkRename by Stirling Westrup (since 2010).

    rename by Peder Stray (you might have difficulty installing the archive
    using CPAN client since it does not include a module) is based on Larry
    Wall's "rename" script and has grown to feature dry-run mode, backup,
    interactive prompt, etc.

    rename from File::Rename by Robin Barker is also based on Larry Wall's
    script and refactors the functionality into a module. It does not have
    as many options as Peder's version but offers a Unicode option.

    brn from App::FileTools::BulkRename (since 2010) by Stirling Westrup.
    Another fork of Larry Wall's "rename". It features dry-run mode
    ("--nop") and saving/loading presets of options (including the Perl
    expression) into its config file.
