NEW: sysutils/p5-File-Rename

Hi,

This is a little file renaming library that ships with a really quite
useful command-line tool.

From the man page:

---8<---
...to rename all files matching *.bak to strip the extension, you might say

rename 's/\e.bak$//' *.bak

To translate uppercase names to lower, you'd use

rename 'y/A-Z/a-z/' *
--->8---

Notes:

* pkg/DESCR is authored by myself, since there wasn't a good overall
description on CPAN.

* It installs the tool under the rather generic name "rename". We might
consider renaming it (oh the irony) to "prename"?

Comments? OK?
