Several other distros tend to include a different rename command. 
debianoids have the perl regex one, redhatoids a simpler but 
incompatible one that does simple substitution:

rename from to files

changes the first instance of "from" in each filename of files 
in "files" to "to".

Some distros also have an "mmv" command that's different again,
it's in the "mmv" package in debian.
