If getting the right case is important, some extra steps may be needed. I think this version of replaceword() would be sufficient, as either lowercase or ucfirst() would be the normal casing. All-uppercase as a default disallows strange mixed case renderings, so while it would preserve some effect, it's still not a complete solution. 

sub replaceword {
    my $w = $_[0];
    my $repl = $bad_words{ lc( $w ) };
    $repl = ucfirst( $repl ) if ( $w =~ /^[A-Z]/ );
    return $repl;
}

Of course, this would require that the eval flag stay on the substitution in my previous post, contrary to the update which applies to the code as appears in that node.
