Oh, I have used split a zillion times and because I didn't have a character (like , ) to split on I didn't realize I could use it. (No I don't know what I am doing.)

I am sure everyone knows, but in case there is someone who does not there needs to be semi-colon after the hash for the code to compile: 
my %trans = (
   1 => "one",
   2 => "two",
   ...
   z => "zulu",
) ;  #<---note semi-colon
foreach (split //, $line) {
....

Oh and to deal with the case thing I did this: 
print "Enter some letters and numbers:  " ;
my $line = <STDIN> ;
chomp $line ;
$print = lc $line ;
...
foreach (split //, $print) {
...

There's more than one way to do it, but only some of them actually work.
