Perhaps the advantage is you don't need to know perl?

If you want to do more complex renaming than the perl rename
script can handle, I have a perl script
    http://canids.net/felix/cmv
that knows how to do tricks like
    cmv 'tr/xyz/yzx/' x y z
without losing any of the files.  You can also do tricks like
    cmv -d 's(-)(/)g' *
to split files into subdirectories.
