[PLUG] rename not working as expected

   According to man rename:

rename .htm .html *.htm

will fix the extension of your html files.

   So, I expect that

rename .JPG *.jpg

will change the extension to lower case. It doesn't:

rename: not enough arguments

And, 'rename *.JPG *.jpg' produces the same error message.

   I've done this before and do not see what I'm doing incorrectly this time.
Perhaps it's the heat today but fresh eyeballs might see my syntax error.
