If all you are wanting to do a change a scalar variable then you just did it and answered your own question.
Try: $value = "View Data"; print "$value\n"; $value = "View_Data"; print "$value\n"; If what you are trying to do here is turn all spaces into underscores then you need a regex something like: $value = "View Data"; $value =~ s/\s/_/g; print "$value\n"; Hope this helps.
