It does! The only problem is that it's still not catching a match that happens twice in a line. So in your sample data, (thank you for supplying some as I clearly neglected to) the output data is missing the second "perl."

    Glad to hear it did!

    Of course, I don't know exactly what you're matching, but did you mean /\b$token\b/ instead of the /\b $token \b/ that you have in your original code, i.e., did you want spaces and word boundaries around the token or just word boundaries?
