oops, missed the dots!!

I also see some others have already posted their scripts whilst I was writing mine :D
How can I make this script more generic? If i called the script 'ren', I would like 'ren' to be able to do all the following:

ren *.pl *.cgi
ren dan_* Daniel-*
ren *1980* *2006*
ren Jun.*.txt JUNE-*.doc
