Taking alpha characters and converting to lowercase

[quan]

Hello, trying to convert alpha characters to all lowercase.
$string = "Hello";

Using this in a log in script, I would like the new string to have a value of:

$newstring = "hello";

Thanks for your help <i>Its okay to dream.....</i>

$newstring = lc($string);

 

[Stiddy]

$string = &quot;Hello&quot;;
$newstring = $string;
$newstring =~ tr/A-Z/a-z/;
print $newstring;
