Thanks Gabriel - your suggested code

s/(SCTN:\s*)(\w+)/$1\u$2\E/g;

is an improvement - it does capitalise the first
letter - but only of the first word after "SCTN: " so
i get something like
SCTN: This is a section name

What I need is

SCTN: This Is A Section Name

hope that makes sense! :)
Well, let's see if we can get a little closer:

s/(SCTN:\s*)(.+)$/join '', $1, map { ucfirst $_ } split /( )/, $2/ge;

See if that helps any.
