You wouldn't be the first person here to misread (and therefore
mis-answer) a question, so we might all want to be lenient on that
account (but do go back and read the original question again, it
isn't quite a simple substitution question). But everyone should take
the time to test the code that they post at least minimally. Your
code does not compile because the variable should be $p not p$, and
making that change doesn't give the result you stated because your
code replaces w's instead of e's. It looks as if you are trying to be
careful by using -w and my() variables, so maybe you tested code and
then retyped it for submission, making typos as you went. Copy and
paste is a much safer way to participate in online forums.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
