I apologise if this is too simple, it is my first JAPH. I do not quite consider myself a perl hacker yet, but I was playing around with my regular expressions and figured I would ty my luck :). I was mostly excited that it work, and that it works with warnings and "use strict."

I did notice something interesting, though. I had to escape the dot in the second regex for it to work. Would this be becuase it thought I was trying to cat or is it a modifier that I have not been introduced to?

I would also like to say that it looks like a much better block of code when it does not wrap. 
my $japh="Wx.hi.fg.gh.!No.ab.bc.gh.uv.rs.ef.!Cd.rs.ef.yz.!Uv.no.pq.xy.
+rs.e";
$japh=~s/!/ /g;   $japh=~s/\./\b/g;    $japh=~tr/a-mn-zA-MN-Z/n-za-mN-
+ZA-M/;
print                              $japh,                             
+ "\n";
