Note that if you want to do a "safe" rename, you can do so, although it involves a copy
I may have missed something, but I think it can be done much more easily like this:
sub rename_i { my($src, $dest) = @_; link($src, $dest) or die "Can't link $src to $dest: $!"; unlink($src) or die "Can't unlink $src: $!"; }
