Perforce does not support a single 'rename' command, but files can
be renamed by branching one file into another and then deleting the
original file.
The 'from' and 'to' file arguments may include wildcards as long as
they are matched.
Integrating from files require read access to the files, but deleting
them requires write access.
For further information, see the help for the individual commands.
And what it doesn't state explicitly is that you're renaming files, not
directories, so you then have to use perforce wildcards, ie:
$ cd ext/Compress/Zlib/
$ p4 integrate zlib-src-1.2.3/... zlib-src/...
$ p4 delete zlib-src-1.2.3/...
