Looks like you need the substitution operator (s///).
To use it, you need to place the pattern to find on the
left side and the replacement on the right side.
s/PATTERN/REPLACEMENT/
It looks like you are searching for ' a ' and you
want to replace that with ' A '. That would plug in as:
$str =~ s/ a / A /;
You can read more about s/// in 'perlop' under
the Regexp Quote-Like Operators section.
