The line
rename qq{I-\x{2665}-Perl}, 'I-love-Perl';
is cheating. You were able to type in the name of the file that was to be renamed because you already knew what the original file name was. The problem is that I will never have such knowledge beforehand.
Can you show code that will read a file name in the given directory, complete with the file's non-ascii characters, save the original file name in some variable, then strip the non-ascii from the said file name, then rename the file (using the original, saved file name) to the new all-ascii file name?

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).
