Hash::Case

The actual cause for this module: a problem which two of my collegues had. They had to convert a perl database application from one database type to an other, which gave casing problems.

Most databases use SQL, but the SQL dialects can behave quite differently. They discovered that their new database used capital field names, while the original database was lower case. So: accessing 'name' had to be translated to 'NAME'...
