I noticed that Debian is using Perl rename
$ readlink -f /usr/bin/rename
/usr/bin/prename
$ dpkg --search bin/prename
perl: /usr/bin/prename
However, Cygwin Perl does not include this file.
$ gzip -cd /etc/setup/perl.lst.gz | grep prename | wc
0 0 0
I understand that the util-linux version has the benefit of not needing Perl,
however if a user decides to install the Perl package, shouldnt they benefit
from the Perl rename as well?
