I have several hundred *.jpg files with this pattern

Actual example:

   'AtlantaVisitAndGrandmaHands 056.jpg'

The numbers vary, of course, but the alpha part and number of digits
after the space is the same in all *.jpg files

I have hundreds of these all in one directory.  Not something you'd
want to do one at a time.

Something like:

while (<*>) {
        rename $_, "$1$2.jpg" if $_ =~ /(.+) (.+)\.jpg/;
}


what does <*> mean here?

thanks.
