Renaming Files on Hoary

Hi All:

My camera saves all picture files as .JPG for some reason.  I usually do
a bulk rename in each directory to get the extension into lowercase, ie:
.jpg.  However on some pictures that I copied via scp from my server at
home, I get this error:

$ rename P1140111.JPG P1140111.jpg
Bareword "P1140111" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at (eval 1)
line 1.
Bareword "JPG" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at (eval 1) line 1.
$

The scp program wrote them as 644 so I've already done a chmod 744 to
all files in the directory.

$ ls -l P1140111.JPG
- -rwxr--r--  1 user user 977495 2005-06-12 10:16 P1140111.JPG
$

I know that I've done this before but I'm not sure if the rename command
(which is a perl script) has changed with the upgrade to Hoary or if has
something to do with scp.

Anyone know how to get around this?

Thanks,
Ed
