as much as I hate to admit it, the common perl 5 package also uses upper case:
$ cat uri_escape.pl
use URI::Escape ;
$\ = "\n" ;
print "Perl Version: $]" ;
print "URI::Escape Version: $URI::Escape::VERSION" ;
print uri_escape ("a:b") ;
$ perl uri_escape.pl
Perl Version: 5.006001
URI::Escape Version: 3.19
a%3Ab
