I found myself writing a slightly ridiculous Perl oneliner to rename a few files, and then thought... hey, I could abstract this into a nice little utility to do that generically.

So I did.

Then I spent the past 3 hours writing a manpage, oops.

So here you go. It's like zsh's zmv, except it uses Perl regexes and it uses straight-up Perl code for the replacement side, which makes complex stuff a breeze. (You can still do simple stuff by wrapping the replacement in "". Having it not be ""ed by default lets you do shit like ternary expressions – what kicked this whole project off – without a bunch of clunkiness.)

Maybe you'll find it useful?
