Many linux distributions come with rename(1), a Perl script that lets
you rename files using Perl expressions.  For example, you
could do

  rename 'y/a-z/A-Z/' *

In Debian this script is in the Perl package.  If you can't find it in
your distribution, there's a version on CPAN.  See
http://search.cpan.org/~pederst/rename-1.4/bin/rename.PL for more
details.
