I try to use Perl's rename utility to translate filenames to lower case. I tried two different solutions, one from perldoc rename and another from Perl Cookbook:

• rename 'y/A-Z/a-z/' ./*
• rename 'tr/A-Z/a-z/ unless /^Make/' *.txt

But either version gives me an error because of complaining that file with such a filename already exists:

./fOoBaR.tXt not renamed: ./foobar.txt already exists

How to make it work?
