Could that not just be:

<list_names.txt awk -F'\t' '{printf "%s.gz\0%s\0"gz\0%s.gz\0", $2, $1}' | xargs -r0n2 mv --

perl -F'\t' -lae 'rename "$F[1].gz", $F[0]$"F[0].gz" or warn "$F[1].gz: $!\n"' list_names.txt

Could that not just be:

<list_names.txt awk -F'\t' '{printf "%s.gz\0%s\0", $2, $1}' | xargs -r0n2 mv --
