You can't use a regex on the right-hand side of a s///, it's not appropriate. Instead, use capturing parentheses: $myName =~ s/([A-Z])/+$1/g; Another way to do this, though, is to use a look-ahead: $myName =~ s/(?=[A-Z])/+/g; That says "if we can look ahead and match an A-Z, then replace what we've matched (which isn't anything, we've only LOOKED) with a +, for all occurrences". -- Jeff "japhy" Pinyan [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pobox.com/~japhy/ RPI Acacia brother #734 http://www.perlmonks.org/ http://www.cpan.org/ <stu> what does y/// stand for? <tenderpuss> why, yansliterate of course.
