It is customary to include a message as whilst your newsreader might
display the entire Subject line I wouldnt you are in a position to
know whether this is true of all newreaders.

read about uc() and ucfirst() in the perlfunc manpage.

How to Capitalize the first letter of a word an or whole word

I finally figured out how to capitalize the whole word I used
$word = "myword";
$word =~ tr/[a-z]/[A-Z]/;
and got ... MYWORD
now I need to learn how to change just the first letter to capital...

Yeah, sure. Whatever. Just keep refusing to read the manual.

Don't bother reading the manual or the FAQ. That's for wussies.
Real (wo)men do it the hard way. Of course, they don't ask Usenet
for help either.

s/just the first letter/capital/;

HTH. HAND.

Do you think it was necessary to translate '[' to '[' and ']' to ']'?
:-)

The uc function does this translation in a locale-dependent way.

perldoc -f ucfirst

Use ucfirst() to capitalize the first letter, or uc() for the whole
string.
