Does openSUSE package perl-rename anywhere?
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) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

I have it in TW, it's called perl-File-Rename. According to software.opensuse.org, there's also an 'experimental' package for Leap 15.4: https://software.opensuse.org/package/perl-File-Rename ~> rpm -ql perl-File-Rename | grep bin /usr/bin/file-rename

Thank you! Was a bitch to finally get the repo and install, but thank God - perl-rename (a.k.a "file-rename") is installed :) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

(...) don't forget the old "apropos" (search man pages title), that gives other options:
apropos rename

Certainly, I did that first. But it only works if whatever you want is installed, and it isn't in my system (perl-rename → perl-File-Rename) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.4 x86_64 at Telcontar)

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.
