I accidentally used `lc` where I should have used `uc`, but you shouldn't get the behaviour you describe either way. `>type infile hello h e l l o bye b y e bike b i k e >perl -pe"s/(.)/uc($1)/e" infile > outfile >type outfile Hello h e l l o Bye b y e Bike b i k e` [download] or `>type infile hello h e l l o bye b y e bike b i k e >type script.pl while (<>) { s/(.)/uc($1)/e; print; } >perl script.pl infile > outfile >type outfile Hello h e l l o Bye b y e Bike b i k e` [download] You must be doing something extra.
