my @out = map { s/'/"/g; $_ } @in;

This solution has the behavior discussed by duff here and here of also changing the source array:

c:\@Work\Perl\monks>perl -wMstrict -MData::Dumper -le
"my @in  = ('Maria-s', 'Thano-s');
 my @out = map { s/-/+/g;  $_; } @in;
 print Dumper \@in;
 print Dumper \@out;
"
$VAR1 = [
          'Maria+s',
          'Thano+s'
        ];

$VAR1 = [
          'Maria+s',
          'Thano+s'
        ];

c:\@Work\Perl\monks>perl -wMstrict -MData::Dumper -le
"my @in = ('Maria-s', 'Thano-s');
 s/-/+/g for @in;
 print Dumper \@in;
"
$VAR1 = [
          'Maria+s',
          'Thano+s'
        ];

Prior to Perl version 5.14, aliased substitution can be avoided by substitution-on-assignment:

c:\@Work\Perl\monks>perl -wMstrict -MData::Dumper -le
"print 'perl version: ', $];
 ;;
 my @in  = ('Maria-s', 'Thano-s');
 my @out = map { (my $mp = $_) =~ s/-/+/g;  $mp; } @in;
 print Dumper \@in;
 print Dumper \@out;
"
perl version: 5.008009
$VAR1 = [
          'Maria-s',
          'Thano-s'
        ];

$VAR1 = [
          'Maria+s',
          'Thano+s'
        ];
[download]

c:\@Work\Perl\monks>perl -wMstrict -MData::Dumper -le
"print 'perl version: ', $];
 ;;
 my @in  = ('Maria-s', 'Thano-s');
 my @out = map { s/-/+/gr } @in;
 print Dumper \@in;
 print Dumper \@out;
"
perl version: 5.014004
$VAR1 = [
          'Maria-s',
          'Thano-s'
        ];

$VAR1 = [
          'Maria+s',
          'Thano+s'
        ];

Building on AnomalousMonk's "Prior to Perl version 5.14" example we can come up with this SSCCE:

use strict;
use warnings;

use Test::More tests => 3;

my $data     = {x => "Maria's"};
my $old      = \%$data;
my @allparms = sort keys %$data;
my @oldparms = @allparms;
my @expected = ("Maria''s");

my @result = map { (my $f = $data->{$_} || '') =~ s/'/''/g; $f } @allp
+arms;

is_deeply \@result, \@expected, "apostrophe's are doubled";
is_deeply $data, $old, '$data is unchanged';
is_deeply \@allparms, \@oldparms, '@allparms is unchanged';

You can then extend $data and @expected to provide a more comprehensive set of test data to prove that the algorithm matches your needs. All of this assumes (contrary to expectation) that choroba's guess that this is actually an XY Problem is incorrect.

Hi and I hope you can see this again!
I got it to work, my Perl version is v5.10.1, but I am getting a warning message as this:

Useless use of a constant in void context at... that's from the line where the call is.

I am actually replacing MSWord quote with a regular quote since the DB can't handle it, but if I pass a normal single quote using place holders, it works. This how my code looks like now:

my @allparms = qw(  letters loc type name zip);

my $sql = exec_select( "call store_proc(" . join(',', ('?') x @allparm
+s ) . ")",
            map { (my $dx = $data->{ $_ }) =~ s/’/'/g || '' ; $dx; } @
+allparms
                   );

How could a prevent this warning and why is it happening ?
Thanks for looking!

That's because of the || ''. If the substitution returns false, i.e. there's no smart quote to substitute, you replace this return value that goes nowhere ("void context") by an empty string. You probably meant to add it into the assignment instead?

map { (my $dx = $data->{ $_ } || '') =~ s/’/'/g; $dx } @allparms
[download]

But that would replace 0's with empty strings. Use // to replace only undefs.

Update:

map { (my $dx = $data->{ $_ } // '') =~ s/’/'/g; $dx } @allparms
