Perl | uc() Function

Last Updated : 11 Jul, 2025
uc() function in Perl returns the string passed to it after converting it into uppercase. It is similar to ucfirst() function which returns only first character in uppercase. Note: The characters which are already in UpperCase are not modified.
Syntax: uc String Returns: string in uppercase.
Example 1: Perl
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

# String to be converted to UPPERCASE
$string = "geeksfOrGeeks";

print "Original String: $string\n";

# Converting the string to 
# UPPERCASE using uc() function
$UPPER_STRING = uc($string);

print "Modified String: $UPPER_STRING";
Output:
Original String: geeksfOrGeeks
Modified String: GEEKSFORGEEKS
Example 2: Perl
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

# String to be converted to UPPERCASE
$string = "WelComEToGeeKS";

print "Original String: $string\n";

# Converting the string to 
# UPPERCASE using uc() function
$UPPER_STRING = uc($string);

print "Modified String: $UPPER_STRING";
Output:
Original String: WelComEToGeeKS
Modified String: WELCOMETOGEEKS
