... map { tr/a-zA-Z/A-Za-z/; $_ } ...
I'm always a bit wary of code that looks like that, especially when it doesn't have the big warning sign to the right that says:
Warning
This map alters its incoming arguments as well as generating the desired list. While it is safe in this particular usage, use caution when copying this to another segment of code.
In other words, I'd have written that as:
... map { (my $x = $_) =~ tr/a-zA-Z/A-Za-z/; $x } ...
which ensures that I get the desired output value without
seriously mangling my input value as a side-effect.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
