in thread Case-preserving regexp search and replace?

I tried it, and it doesn't work as needed: I need it to match the case of the last letter. So if I want to replace "FOOBAR" with "whatever", it will return "WHATEVer" instead of "WHATEVER".

Newever versions of the Regexp FAQ have some routines not online here that do that fiddling with bits in ASCII. Not necessarily Unicode compliant but neat tricks nontheless.

    If you want to keep the case of the last letter, then the other solution in perlfaq6 is what you want.
