All,
Simon's question brought up another -- the substitution he wanted to do would be trivial with perl-rename using a regex substitution. However after using zypper to search for "perl-rename", "rename", etc.. nothing but gprename appears.
Does opensuse package perl-rename? If so where?
Both the rename from util-linux and perl-rename can be installed side-by-side, simply using "perl-rename" as the executable name for it to prevent name collision (or better letting the user choose under the alternatives structure)
rename() is a perl built-in so it's not packaged separately. There are various perl scripts called various permutations of rename that complicate the situation even further.
