Your most obvious problem is that there is no occurrence of Corry in the test data, only corry. And no, the two are not the same. Another problem is that you use $1, but the regex before it doesn't use a capturing group that could fill $1. A third problem is that the iteration variable is $word, but the regexes match against $_, thus have no chance to succeed. I'm pretty sure you get an uninitialized... warning from that. Didn't you? Or did you just ignore it? (hint: never ignore the warning).
