Re: [Fun With Perl] What does this do? (SPOILERS)

Yes, I picked the wrong example at first, and got ho-hum responses
from people who had assumed all along that the \u would override the
\L.  This is correct in some sense, but none of these peopel were
correct for the right reasons, and they were all surprised to discover
that the second \u in

>       print "\L\uHELLO, \uWORLD\E.\n";

was ineffective.  So you should pretend that I send the two-\u example
in the first place, and imagine what your reaction would have been had
you seen it.  :)
