From the perlfaq which comes with Perl: 
       How do I capitalize all the words on one line?

       To make the first letter of each word upper case:

               $line =~ s/\b(\w)/\U$1/g;

       This has the strange effect of turning ""don't do it""
       into ""Don'T Do It"".  Sometimes you might want this.
       Other times you might need a more thorough solution (Sug-
       gested by brian d.  foy):

           $string =~ s/ (
                        (^\w)    #at the beginning of the line
                          |      # or
                        (\s\w)   #preceded by whitespace
                          )
                       /\U$1/xg;
           $string =~ /([\w']+)/\u\L$1/g;

       To make the whole line upper case:

               $line = uc($line);

       To force each word to be lower case, with the first letter
       upper case:

               $line =~ s/(\w+)/\u\L$1/g;

       You can (and probably should) enable locale awareness of
       those characters by placing a "use locale" pragma in your
       program.  See the perllocale manpage for endless details
       on locales.

       This is sometimes referred to as putting something into
       "title case", but that's not quite accurate.  Consider the
       proper capitalization of the movie Dr. Strangelove or: How
       I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, for example.
