my($string) = q(mamy dady bal foo bar);

Your wordlist doesn't contain anything that will match what the OP requested.

my(@strings_list) = scalar reverse $revwords;

This will put all the words into the first element of @strings_list so there is no need to use any(). Would have been much simpler to just reverse the original string and then split it into an array.

my $rev = reverse $string; my @strings = split ' ', $rev; print join ',',@strings;
sub { /^ymam*/}, @strings_list,

^ymam* will match 0 or more 'm's after yma which is not going to work. The * is not needed here.
