in reply to Can I use a regex here?

If you put your log file names into an array, you can use map to do this: 
@old_log_files = [ $LOG_FILE_1, $LOG_FILE_2, ...];
@new_log_files = map { "$OUT_DIR/allfiles/$_" } @old_log_files;
for (i=0;$i<scalar @old_log_files; $i++) {
  rename $old_log_files[$i], $new_log_files[$i];
}

    Leave the C-Style for loops for C: 
    for (0..$#old_log_files) {
    rename $old_log_files[$_], $new_log_files[$_];
}

    So much nicer, and easy on the hands. :)
