I think it is just like the linux 'mv' command! You can see at man rename:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION
"rename" renames the filenames supplied according to the rule
specified as the first argu-
ment. The perlexpr argument is a Perl expression which is
expected to modify the $_ string
in Perl for at least some of the filenames specified. If a
given filename is not modified
by the expression, it will not be renamed. If no filenames are
given on the command line,
filenames will be read via standard input.
For example, to rename all files matching "*.bak" to strip the
extension, you might say
rename 's/\.bak$//' *.bak
To translate uppercase names to lower, you'd use
rename 'y/A-Z/a-z/' *
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, it doesn't work if it creates new files, cause this last example!
Linux is case sensitive and two files with the "same" name would be
created using this command line! "rename 'y/A-Z/a-z/' *"
