in reply to Capitalize First Letter of Each Word
Hi,
Here's another one.
my @string =
(
"THIS IS TESTING",
"JOE MARCONES",
"RESIDENTIAL MAINTENANCE COMPANY",
);
@string=map(lc, @string);
@string=map(ucfirst,@string);
#or
@string=map(ucfirst, map(lc,@string));
print "@string\n";

Using map implies a join of some sort. This will normalise any spaces that may have been in your original data unless the regex used to split the data is zero width.
my $new = join '', map {ucfirst lc} split /(?=\s)/;

No maps are needed at all. Inputting one line at a time:
$ perl -pe 's/([A-Z]+)/ucfirst(lc $1)/egi'
"THIS IS TESTING"
"This Is Testing"
"JOE MARCONES"
"Joe Marcones"
"RESIDENTIAL MAINTENANCE COMPANY"
"Residential Maintenance Company"
THIS iS a Text IN TITLE CASE

"Bit O' Mint" "Mano Y Mano" "Chris Dibona" "Scrooge Mcduck"
"Cruella de Ville" "Jake O'Shaunessy" "Tales from the Crypt"
"Cruella De Ville" "Jake O'Shaunessy" "Tales From The Crypt"
"Sanford and Son Salvage Company"
"Sanford And Son Salvage Company"
Of course this won't and can't handle all cases. But I usually use this for small amounts of text, either to TURN OFF THE SHOUTING or to convert an all-caps title to title case, and I'm willing to correct the few errors that it leaves or produces. | [reply]

Hi
I kindof did in my commented out line, but my aim was to make it easier for the OP to read & hopefully understand what i was doing.
Your code is neat though. I'll ++ it tomorrow when I have some more votes ;-)
