FWIW and for other newbies that might care...
I'm not sure why this works, but it does.
If I issue the command:
rename $source, $target or warn "...";
where $source contains my funky file name --> 'ENDPNA.PROD.HRBANS(EDIFACT)'
it _just_works_!
No need to escape anything!!!
I was getting hung up on what/how to escape the special characters
when apparently this isn't need.
By contrast if you use a mv(1) from the shell, you do need to use escapes.
