it seems not terribly perlish.
Well actually, a foreach is actually quite perlish. To be terribly perlish, one would shorten it down to a for modifier that operates on $_ implicitly aliasing over each element
for (@beatles) {
tr /A-Z/a-z/
}
written more concisely as
tr /A-Z/a-z/ for @beatles;
which is probably more elegant than a vulgar map.
@beatles = map {lc} @beatles;
update: gah! I do ramble on.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
