    The above sub does not work

      Of course it does. I'm guessing you called it in scalar context and got the count of the transform; e.g., 1.

      print revcompl("CGTAGTC"), $/; # GACTACG print scalar revcompl("CGTAGTC"), $/; # 1

      There was just a post on this issue this morning: Mini-Tutorial: Scalar vs List Assignment Operator.
