Thanks for the all of the responses. Okay, the script is only meant for ONE person to tell ONE other person about the site. If they entered mr. blah blah, I would like it to look like: Mr. Blah Blah.

Thanks to SuperCruncher, I have gotten the "From:" name field to have all uppercase first characters, but can't get the same to happen for the "To:" name field to do the same. I know it has something to do with the $_ variable (I think?)

# make the first letters of the NAME of the sender uppercase
my @from = split(/ /, $from);
$_ = ucfirst for @from;

# make the first letters of the NAME of the receiver uppercase
my @to = split(/ /, $to);
$_ = ucfirst for @to;

# make the first letter of the message upper case
$message = ucfirst($message);

As for using a regex for the next part, I am lost :(
How can I use this line: $string .= '.' if $string !~ /[.!?]$/; in the code below? 

##############################################
# puts a period at the end of senders message,
# if one was not there, AND, if there is no
# question OR explanation mark.

my $length = length($message);
my $period = index($message, ".");
my $question = index($message, "?");
my $explanation = index($message, "!");
$length = $length - 1;

if (($period ne $length) && ($question ne $length) && ($explanation ne
+ $length)) {
  $message = $message.'.';
}
