# ch-1.pl Perl Weekly Challenge 328 Task 1  Replace all ?
#=============================================================================
# You are given a string containing only lower case English letters and ?.
# Write a script to replace all ? in the given string so that the string
# doesn’t contain consecutive repeating characters.
# Example 1 Input: $str = "a?z"
#           Output: "abz"
#   There can be many strings, one of them is "abz". The choices are 'a'
#   to 'z' but we can't use either 'a' or 'z' to replace the '?'.
# Example 2 Input: $str = "pe?k"
#           Output: "peak"
# Example 3 Input: $str = "gra?te"
#           Output: "grabte"
#=============================================================================
