Another way to do it is to use Damian Conway's Text::Autoformat module.
It's smart enough to handle multiple modes of case conversions. For
instance:
The 'title' mode capitalizes the first letter of every word in a
sentence: "Hello World. Goodbye. What A Cruel World"
The 'highlight' mode capitalizes only significant words: "Hello World.
Goodbye. What a Cruel World"
Options are:
$formatted = autoformat $rawtext, { case => 'lower' };
$formatted = autoformat $rawtext, { case => 'upper' };
$formatted = autoformat $rawtext, { case => 'sentence' };
$formatted = autoformat $rawtext, { case => 'title' };
$formatted = autoformat $rawtext, { case => 'highlight' };
Where would we be without Damian?
