Subject: [ruby-talk:18325] capitalizing a string

Say I've got a string p = 'fooBarPoit'.
then p.capitalize == 'Foobarpoit'.

I wish to have 'fooBarPoit' turn into 'FooBarPoit' and not 'Foobarpoit'.

One way that works is (assuming that string was called p)
p[0..0].upcase + p[1..p.length]

but I wondered if there's a better way.
