    Sorry, "Initial", but here, this solved the issue unless you have a better idea.
    s/(?<=\w)(.)/\l\1/g for $test; s/Ltd/LTD/ for $test;
      and are you planning to hard code ALL the possible exceptions? ...NGO, LLC, etc? Or is this homework after all?
        Well it isn't home work, just trying possibilities with perl regular expression, kind of training myself, nothing wrong with that, and asking those who know better than you right? Sure why not unless there is a better way to do it?
      Hrm.. you could almost do
      s/\b([^aeiouy\W]+)\b/\U$1/g;
      That will uppercase any words with no vowels... not perfect, but works for a number of them.
