Okay, so I need to know if any #perl ppl out there know of modules that can take ALL capital phrases and change that to correct upper and lower case text.

The reason? I have a lot of 90's and 2000's subtitles in SRT format that I'm SO TIRED of being in all uppercase. I would like it to be perfect, but it doesn't have to be. Names, proper nouns, start of sentences, etc ...

Can anyone point me to a module?

Thanks! (tagging a few ppl I'm hoping could help me.)

I have a strong feeling that the famous Camel Book is the worst choice when you want to learn #Perl from scratch.
I mean, I'm hundred pages in and feel like I know less Perl then before I have started the book. Wall makes Perl seem so convoluted and arbitrary, it doesn't make sense sometimes.
Maybe it's just the best book you need when you already know the language, not when you want to learn it.

Unlike me from 10 years ago, I don't place a lot of value on "cutting-edge" tech anymore.

Something that works reliably and stays stable for decades without significant changes or re-learning required is what I appreciate now.

Bonus points for performance and security improvements under the hood without changing the interface.

Time to thin the library of software engineering books that I no longer need or, in the case of the C++ ones, no longer (and never did) bring me joy. I doubt any charity shop will take these and I can’t just put them in recycling. If you would like any of these for the cost of postage (which for some will be sizeable), DM me. UK only, and I am in East Sussex if you wished to collect. Titles and weights in alt text. Please boost for reach and reuse! #computing #retrocomputing #books#Perl#Linux
