I suggest s/([^\s\w]*)(\S+)/$1\u\L$2/g; instead. It treats things like q{"not a question" folks} (which becomes q{"Not A Question" Folks}).

    The trick there is making sure the first character is a word character. Here's a shorter version of the same thing: s/(\w\S*)/\u\L$1/g;

    Nice, but both this and chipmunk's can't handle "just,another,list,of,words" (ie. punctuation without spaces)... why not just: 
    s/(\w+)/\u\L$1/g;
