Hi Sean,
> the built-in rename command works nicely for me
It's worth being a bit careful here because /usr/bin/rename can be one
of a variety of commands on Ubuntu. For me, like you, it's a symlink to
/usr/bin/prename but I understand update-alternatives(8) can handle
other packages claiming that name.

Those last two 's are starting and ending an empty single-quoted string.
;-) That said, it works. These are all equivalent to it.
s/\'//
"s/'//"
's/'\''//'
Cheers, Ralph.
