Code:

The problem is that the above command will capitalize the words between all type of tags, not only for <title></title>.
Consider the following:

Code:
% print '<head><script>this not</script><title>this yes</title></head>'|
perl -pe's/([^<\/])\b(\w)/$1\U$2/g' 
<head><script>This Not</script><title>This Yes</title></head>

% print '<head><script>this not</script><title>this yes</title></head>'|
perl -pe's|
pipe quote>     (?<=<title>)
pipe quote>     (.*?)
pipe quote>     (?=</title>)
pipe quote>     |($x=$1)=~s/\b(\w)/\u$1/g;$x
pipe quote>     |gxe'
<head><script>this not</script><title>This Yes</title></head>
