in reply to File "rename" error in renaming a file.

I note that you are performing the rename inside a loop, I suspect you simply need to move it outside the loop.

If that's not it, it would really help to have more information: a short, self-contained, correct example (see SSCCE) would be a great start.

  open( ATTA, ">$tempfile" ) || die "Can't open $tempfile: $!";
  binmode ATTA;

  rename $tempfile, "tempdir/".$new_filename or die "Cannot rename fil
+e: $!"; }
  
  while ( <$attach> ) {
...
