Wouldn't this work?
I haven't even run this to check for syntax, so DON'T EVEN trust me! I'm just as clueless as you are even more so probably, but I would like to know if this is generaly possible && if there are any downs of using this kind of approach.
print &FilesExt('/tmp','csv','txt')." files renamed\n";
sub FilesExt {
my ($startpath,$orgext,$newext) = @_;
my ($count);
foreach $leaf (glob("$startpath/*")) {
if (-d $leaf) {
$count += FilesExt($leaf,$orgext,$newext);
} elsif ($leaf =~ m/$orgext\z/i) { #case insensitive maybe?
my $oldleaf = $leaf;
$leaf =~ s/$1/$newext/;
rename($oldleaf,$leaf) or warn();
++$count;
}
}
return($count);
}
Comments, monks?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
