hello all.. I'm a bit new to this site.. and I hope to learn alot.. but I've been having a hard time figuring this out. I'm horrible with regular expressions.. so any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have a file with a list of names like this: LASTNAME, FIRSTNAME, MIDDLEINITIAL
how can I write a script to have the it: Firstname, Middleinitial, Lastname ?
I have around 30ish names. The first letter needs to be capitalized and the rest lowercase.. I've been having a horrible time trying to figure this out.. I would really appreciate some help with this.

NAME
CGI::Application::Dispatch::Regexp - Dispatch requests to CGI::Application based objects using regular expressions
SYNOPSIS
use CGI::Application::Dispatch::Regexp;
CGI::Application::Dispatch::Regexp->dispatch(
prefix => 'MyApp',
table => [
'' => { app => 'Welcome', rm => 'start' },
qr|/([^/]+)/?| => { names => ['app'] },
qr|/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?| => { names => [qw(app rm)] },
qr|/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/page(d+).html?| => { names => [qw(app rm page)] },
],
);
DESCRIPTION
CGI::Application::Dispatch uses its own syntax dispatch table. "CGI::Application::Dispatch::Regexp" allows one to use flexible and
powerful Perl regular expressions to transform a path into argument list.
DISPATCH TABLE
The dispatch table should contain list of regular expressions with hashref of corresponding parameters. Hash element 'names' is a list of
names of regular expression groups. The default table looks like this:
table => [
qr|/([^/]+)/?| => { names => ['app'] },
qr|/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?| => { names => [qw(app rm)] },
],
Here's an example of defining a custom 'page' parameter:
qr|/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/page(d+).html/?| => { names => [qw(app rm page)] },
