While tr/// will do the replace, i thought i should comment on the idea of an array being used. If you are keeping track of a one-to-one relationship, a hash is the best solution.
People new to perl often don't use hashes, but a quick example would be :
my %hash = (
   A => W,
   B => R,
   C => T,
);

my $letter = 'A';

print "Letter : $letter\n";        ## prints "Letter : A"
print "Letter : $hash{$letter}\n"; ## prints "Letter : W"

just figured to hit the problem where you are already working on it, rather than going with tr/// and having you work out the complex array solutions for your next project (which i did as a newbie)
