    }

doesn't change the outcome of the program either :( No words are ignored but you were right, I need the //g :)

    Oh, I didn't notice that at the top, you need to change 
    my @ignore = qq(a and the this i me us our ok abc);

    to
    my @ignore = qw(a and the this i me us our ok abc);

    [download]
    I.e. change qq to qw.

      Thanks so much!! After looking at that I slapped myself in the forhead for making a mistake like that, I think this was my major problem all along (oh, I feel stupid). I was wondering why qq() didn't show up as an error but it turns out that's a real command too, go figure :)

      Thanks for your help Thelonius and every other monk who hasn't slapped themselves into the next cyberworld from my mistakes.
