  there's a fancy rename program that comes with perl, it's managed by 
alternatives so I guess there are other rename programs but I only have 
one (how does one find about all alternatives? --list lists only the 
installed ones)

  on my machine (unstable):

erik@jojda:~$ which rename
/usr/bin/rename
erik@jojda:~$ ls -l /usr/bin/rename
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 24 Jun 10 01:47 /usr/bin/rename -> 
/etc/alternatives/rename
erik@jojda:~$ ls -l /etc/alternatives/rename
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 16 Jun 10 01:47 /etc/alternatives/rename -> 
/usr/bin/prename
erik@jojda:~$ dlocate -S /usr/bin/prename
perl: /usr/bin/prename
erik@jojda:~$
