  Description     : routines for title-like formatting of strings

Text::Capitalize provides some routines for title-like formatting of strings.
The simple capitalize function just makes the initial character of each word
uppercase, and forces the rest to lowercase.

The capitalize_title function applies English title case rules (discussed
below) where only the "important" words are supposed to be capitalized. There
are also some customization features provided to allow the user to choose variant
rules.

The package will be maintained under the umbrella of the Debian Perl Group.
