upper and lower case/file handling

[blue928]

I have a text file that has 100 entries. each entry is on a new line and is it ALL CAPS. It looks like this:

JOHN BOB HARRY MARK
KATIE SARA VALERIE MICHELLE

etc...

I need to be able to access the file, pass through it and change every name on each line to lowercase with a capitlized first letter, so that it looks like this:

John Bob Harry Mark
Katie Sara Valerie Michelle

I know that I am may have to use the string function UCFIRST() and STRTOLOWER(). My main problem is that I don't know how to access the file, make the changes, and at the same time, keep the same formatting (it has to keep the same formatting for database purposes). any thoughts?

$data = file(path_to_your_file);

while(list(,$v) = @each($data)) {
$names = explode($v);
while(list(,$n) = @each($names)) {

// do your init cap thing here on the $n variable....

}

}
