Hi! I want to print a word with initcap in perl. Using "ucfirst" for that works fine. But when the word begins with a finnish special character, it doesn't work. How can I print the words in initcap starting with finnish special characters?? Thanks, Taqi Asfar. NB: finnish special characters - 'a' with two dots above and 'o' with two dots above. (looks like this page can't display these two characters:-(
