ucfirst EXPR
ucfirst Returns the value of EXPR with the first character in uppercase
(titlecase in Unicode). This is the internal function imple-
menting the "\u" escape in double-quoted strings. Respects
current LC_CTYPE locale if "use locale" in force. See perllo-
cale and perlunicode for more details about locale and Unicode
support.

If EXPR is omitted, uses $_.
