It is possible in perl to do something like this:

/($someRegex)/i;

where $someRegex is a regex and if matched then $1 should contain result with case just like in regex, i.e.:
$_ = "aAbc";
$someRegex = "Aa.*";

after performing

/($someRegex)/i;

I need $1 somehow to be equal "Aabc", not "aAbc".


The objective is to make some rules for formatting of certain texts, for example:
rule: PowerGenerator\d+
text: pOwerGeNERator53

[download]

the text should be transformed to PowerGenerator53

other example:
rule: Data\d+Bus_[ABC]\d+
text: DATA5Bus_b3

[download]

should be converted to Data5Bus_B3

If the text does not match to rule then no changes should be done.
