All of you have sent to me your scripts (thank you) but I was looking

It seems that there is not such thing as:
command *.jpg 1.jpg
There is a unix command, rename, that I was looking for when I
discovered that it seems to have been replaced with the perl script I
mentioned, at least on Ubuntu 6.06. Either way they are both
executables in /usr/bin/, and seem to be compatible. Sorry if I
confused you by mentioning that it's a perl script on Ubuntu, that
shouldn't matter.
Have you tried typing 'man rename' in whatever unix you are using?
