Use the POSIX character class syntax [:upper:] within your pattern, as
documented in 'perldoc perlre'.  For example:

    if ($word =~ /^[[:upper:]]+$/)
    {
	print "The word '$word' contains only uppercase letters!";
    }
    else
    {
	print "The word '$word' contains lowercase letters.";
    }
