I see that you are looking for a way to 'capitalize' the first letter of every word? And also align the colon ':'? (You have to be more specific with your question next time, otherwise it becomes a game of 'spotting the difference' again. ;-)
my @text = (
   "Project status :",
   "DB update :",
   "Some column :",
);

my $max_line_width = 0;

# capitalize the first letter of every word, and record
# the maximum width of the lines seen.

my @formatted_text =
   map { s/(\w+)/\u\L$1/g;
         $max_line_width = length if $max_line_width < length;
         $_ } @text;

# insert spaces before the colon ':' to pad the string to 
# the maximum line width recorded

my @formatted_text =
   map { substr($_, -1, 0) = ' ' x ($max_line_width - length);
         $_ } @formatted_text;

print "$_\n" for @formatted_text;

And the output -
Project Status :
Db Update      :
Some Column    :
