Bug#735134: perl: rename(1) is ancient

Hi,

I regularly use rename(1) and miss it on non-Debian systems. The fact perl provides it currently doesn't matter to me (or I'd argue any end user)

This is a frustrating package name for an end user binary. Reminds me of the difficulty I have remembering which package the LWP-tools "GET" and "HEAD" live in. What's wrong with "rename"?

I like this one, which also sidesteps the difficulty of the new package name.
