    use Lingua::EN::NameCase qw( nc );

    $FixedCasedName  = nc( $OriginalName );

    $FixedCasedName  = nc( \$OriginalName );

    # NameCase will not change a scalar in-place, i.e.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Forenames and surnames are often stored either wholly in UPPERCASE
or wholly in lowercase. This module allows you to convert names into
the correct case where possible.

Although forenames and surnames are normally stored separately if they
do appear in a single string, whitespace separated, NameCase and nc deal
correctly with them.

NameCase currently correctly name cases names which include any of the
following:

    Mc, Mac, al, el, ap, da, de, delle, della, di, du, del, der,
    la, le, lo, van and von.

It correctly deals with names which contain apostrophes and hyphens too.

# Functions

=head2 NameCase

Takes a scalar, scalarref, array or arrayref, and changes the case of the
contents, as appropriate. Essentially a wrapper around nc().

=cut

sub NameCase {
    croak "Usage: \$SCALAR|\@ARRAY = NameCase [\\]\$SCALAR|\@ARRAY"
        if ref $_[0] and ( ref $_[0] ne 'ARRAY' and ref $_[0] ne 'SCALAR' );

    local( $_ );

    if( wantarray and ( scalar @_ > 1 or ref $_[0] eq 'ARRAY' ) ) {
        # We have received an array or array reference in a list context
        # so we will return an array.
        map { nc( $_ ) } @{ ref( $_[0] ) ? $_[0] : \@_ };

    } elsif( ref $_[0] eq 'ARRAY' ) {
        # We have received an array reference in a scalar or void context
        # so we will work on the array in-place.
        foreach ( @{ $_[0] } ) {
            $_ = nc( $_ );
        }

    } elsif( ref $_[0] eq 'SCALAR' ) {
        # We don't work on scalar references in-place; we take the value
        # and return a name-cased copy.
        nc( ${ $_[0] } );

    } elsif( scalar @_ == 1 ) {
        # We've received a scalar: we return a name-cased copy.
        nc( $_[0] );

    } else {
        croak "NameCase only accepts a single scalar, array or array ref";
    }
}

=head2 nc

Takes a scalar or scalarref, and change the case of the name in the
corresponding string appropriately.

=cut

sub nc {
    croak "Usage: nc [[\\]\$SCALAR]"
        if scalar @_ > 1 or ( ref $_[0] and ref $_[0] ne 'SCALAR' );

    local( $_ ) = @_ if @_;
    $_ = ${$_} if ref( $_ ) ;           # Replace reference with value.

    return $_   unless($_);

    $_ = lc ;                           # Lowercase the lot.
    s{ \b (\w)   }{\u$1}gx;             # Uppercase first letter of every word.
    s{ (\'\w) \b }{\L$1}gx;             # Lowercase 's.

    # Name case Mcs and Macs - taken straight from NameParse.pm incl. comments.
    # Exclude names with 1-2 letters after prefix like Mack, Macky, Mace
    # Exclude names ending in a,c,i,o, or j are typically Polish or Italian

=head1 BUGS

The module covers the rules that I know of. There are probably a lot
more rules, exceptions etc. for "Western"-style languages which could be
incorporated.

There are probably lots of exceptions and problems - but as a general
data 'cleaner' it may be all you need.

Use Kim Ryan's L for any really sophisticated name parsing.
