Perl can do anything in no less than two ways, but it's overkill in this 
case.

From man rename:

To translate uppercase names to lower, you'd use

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

Also have a look at Cantus for general work of this sort. It's primitive 
and buggy, but powerful enough to do the job if you know how to work 
with it.
