I need a quick shell or perl script that renames files recursively.

I have 100k files all like this in multiple directories and subdirectories:

something_1.jpg something_10.jpg something_100.jpg
need to rename everything to
something_001.jpg something_010.jpg something_100.jpg

script should handle wildcards for the "something" as well as work recursively in directories (ie, I run it once, it seeks all *.jpg files as deep as possbile in the dir structure)

post your contact info icq me at 91603384. looking to get this done tonight or tomorrow. quick cash via paypal.

NB: This shell script has to run on FreeBSD or can be a perl script running in FreeBSD

cheers.
