in reply to Case-preserving substitutions

You need the /e modifier to cause the right side interpolation of the variable: 
s/\b($old)\b/(lcfirst($1) eq $1) ? lcfirst($new) : ucfirst($new)/gei;

Consult perlman:perlre for more details.

Update:
I think I may have mis-interpreted the question. It has been since corrected, and the difference turned out to be slight.

    Update: by the time i posted this, jryan updated his post correctly :)

    You also need the "i" modifier in the end, to match case-insensitive way.
