I have looked at your posts and I have tried the code of haukex and it works, but I don't really understand the code. Can you look again at the code that I have written? 
#!bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use File::Spec;


my $directory = '/home/porter/Videos/blue/';

opendir(DIR,$directory);
my @oldfiles = File::Spec->no_upwards( readdir DIR );
closedir(DIR);

my @newfiles =  qw(Alfa Bèta Gamma Delta Epsilon Zèta Èta Thèta Iota K
+appa Lambda Mu Nu Ksi Omikron);

my $a = @oldfiles;
my $b = @newfiles;

if ( $a ne $b ) {
    print "the numbers are not equal\n" and die;
    }

for (my $i = 0; $i < $a; $i++) {
    rename $oldfiles[$i],$newfiles[$i];
}

The programs exits with code 0 so that is okay, but it doesn't do what it is supposed to do.
