I guess you mean you want to substitue all spaces with underscores?
$value =~ tr/ /_/;
If you need any number of consecutive spaces to be a single underscore:
$value =~ tr/ /_/s;
If you need any amount of white spa
The regex below will replace the space with an underscore.
my $value="View Data";
$value =~ s/ /_/;

How
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
