yes perl can do this.

their is no built in function to just magically transform as you have
above.  It would take a little code.   Why is it:

AAAABCCCDD	A!4BC!3DD
and not
AAAABCCCDD	A!4BC!3D!2

I mean if its 1 character, just print it, if its two chars just print it?
then if its more than 2 do the char!num thing?
