EZ answer I'm sure.

Is there a function in perl such as toLowerCase() in Java? Or anything that will change all the characters from one case to the other?

Hi,

I think you mean the lc function, example follows.

use warnings;
use strict;

my $string = "HELLO WORLD";

print lc($string),"\n";

Oops,

forgot you can do this too

use warnings;
use strict;

my $string = "HELLO WORLD";

print"\L$string\n"; #prints hello world
print"\l$string\n"; #prints hELLO WORLD

# \L will convert to lowercase until a \E is found
# \l will convert the next character to lower case

print"\l$string\n";
