Why not...
Code:
> echo "Paradise_By_The_Dashboard_Lights" | tr "_" " "
Paradise By The Dashboard Lights

However, I would express caution at not having some character other than a space in a filename. It can sometimes make file maintenance more cumbersome and also create strange filenames when they are downloaded to another system (you might see something like Paradise%20By%The...)

HTML::FormHandler::Types(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation			     HTML::FormHandler::Types(3pm)

NAME
HTML::FormHandler::Types - Moose type constraints VERSION
version 0.40013 SYNOPSIS
These types are provided by MooseX::Types. These types must not be quoted when they are used: has 'posint' => ( is => 'rw', isa => PositiveInt); has_field 'email' => ( apply => [ Email ] ); Types declared using Moose::Util::TypeConstraints, on the other hand, must be quoted: has_field 'text_both' => ( apply => [ PositiveInt, 'GreaterThan10' ] ); To import these types into your forms, you must either specify (':all') or list the types you want to use: use HTML::FormHandler::Types (':all'); or: use HTML::FormHandler::Types ('Email', 'PositiveInt'); DESCRIPTION
It would be possible to import the MooseX types (Common, etc), but for now we'll just re-implement them here in order to be able to change the messages and keep control of what types we provide. From MooseX::Types::Common: 'PositiveNum', 'PositiveInt', 'NegativeNum', 'NegativeInt', 'SingleDigit', 'SimpleStr', 'NonEmptySimpleStr', 'Password', 'StrongPassword', 'NonEmptyStr', Type Constraints These types check the value and issue an error message. Email Uses Email::Valid State Checks that the state is in a list of two uppercase letters. Zip IPAddress Must be a valid IPv4 address. NoSpaces No spaces in string allowed. WordChars Must be made up of letters, digits, and underscores. NotAllDigits Might be useful for passwords. Printable Must not contain non-printable characters. SingleWord Contains a single word. Type Coercions These types will transform the value without an error message; Collapse Replaces multiple spaces with a single space Upper Makes the string all upper case Lower Makes the string all lower case Trim Trims the string of starting and ending spaces AUTHOR
