FWIW and for other newbies that might care...

I'm not sure why this works, but it does.
If I issue the command:

        rename $source, $target or warn "...";

where $source contains my funky file name --> 'ENDPNA.PROD.HRBANS(EDIFACT)'
it _just_works_!

No need to escape anything!!! 

I was getting hung up on what/how to escape the special characters
when apparently this isn't need. 

By contrast if you use a mv(1) from the shell, you do need to use escapes.
