When should you prefer translation tr///, and when should you avoid it?

In Perl, the translation operator `tr///` is used to replace specified characters in a string with other characters. However, the use of `tr///` has its specific scenarios where it is preferable and others where it might be less suitable. Here’s a brief guide:

When to Prefer `tr///`

• Simple character replacements: Use `tr///` when you need to replace characters rather than substrings. For instance, converting all lowercase letters to uppercase letters in a string.
• Performance considerations: `tr///` is generally faster than using other substitution functions like `s///` for character translation since it operates at the byte/character level.

When to Avoid `tr///`

• String patterns: If you need to match patterns or replace substrings, it’s better to use the substitution operator `s///`, as `tr///` is limited to single character translation.
• Complex replacements: If you require the replacement of a string with a different string (not just character-wise), `tr///` won't suffice, and `s///` should be used instead.
