try running your script from the command line to see what error the parser is finding.

in your case, it's that the chunk you added uses $words before you declare it with my():

Global symbol "$words" requires explicit package name at jerry.pl line

you have to declare the variable with my() before you use it. right: `my $foo; $foo = "bar";` [download] wrong: `$foo = "bar"; my $foo;` [download] anders pearson	[reply] [d/l] [select]
