Package: perl
Version: 5.10.0-11.1
Severity: minor
The man page for rename includes a synposis of :
rename [ -v ] [ -n ] [ -f ] perlexpr [ files ]
The correct synopsis should be:
rename [ -v ] [ -n ] [ -f ] perlexpr [--] [ files ]
If the files you are renaming start with a "-", then you need to use the
"--" switch before your filename, so that Getopt::Long can know to
ignore them. The man page for rename does not mention this. Users
who want to use rename on files that start with a "-" may be misled into
thinking it is impossible by the confusing error messages.
