I have:
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 24 2005-06-17 16:36 /usr/bin/rename ->
/etc/alternatives/rename
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 16 2005-06-17 16:36 /etc/alternatives/rename ->
/usr/bin/prename

And prename does exist.

It's from perl 5.8.7-3

Not sure how yours got broken though.  Perl is definitely still
installed right?
