I was just curious is there was a more elegant way to do this - preferably a single s///, rather than one match and two substitutions. Thanks in advance...
This smells a lot like homework, so I'm not posting a full answer -- hints only! In any case I'd also take into account split, and then of course you can join again with '|' (too explicit a hint?!?).

Whatever, there's nothing wrong using two or more statements: it may well be doable with a single s///, but it would just be an exercise in doing it the difficult way. Your code must also be clear, mantainable and easy to understand. Incidentally you may also do 

for ($stuff[2]) {
  s/(?=[A-Z])/U/g;
  s/(?=[a-z])/L/g;
}
