Hi monks,

Background
I have a set of values an array. Array can be @names = qw(user_name house_name street_address phone_number date_of_birth); I need to remove the "_" from all the values and need to have upper case for all words in each values.

The output I need is 

User Name
House Name
Street Address
Phone Number
Date Of Birth

The Question
I tried to write something like 

foreach $name ( @names ){
  $name = ucfirst($name); # made first letter 
  $name =~ s/\_(\w)/\ uc($1)/g; # Here is the point.
  print "$name \n"; 
}

[download]
At the line $name =~ s/\_(\w)/\ uc($1)/g; Can I replace the "_" and next character with " " and return value of the function 'uc()', which takes $1 as parameter.

Update: Removed comas from the array as its a bug pointed out by pKai at Re: Interpolation inside regex
