if you go and read the code in the MP3::Tag perl library you'll find
that it tries to rename files using perl's rename function, and then
if that fails tries to use the "mv" command - which as you note
doesn't work in Windows.  This is a feature of MP3::Tag and isn't
anything to do with how get_iplayer was installed.

so I could go and file a bug report on MP3::Tag, but if it got fixed
it might well take a while and in the meantime the user is stuck; or I
can try and help someone work out why the first rename isn't working.
I know which seems more helpful to me.
