Yet another way to do it, which might be way faster if you have very few words to check (in your example you have only one, but this might be done in a loop) is to do it the other way around. Collect the words to be tested first, and then check if the any of the words in your dictionary match: 

my @words = get_words_to_check();

my %hash = map { $_ => 1 } @words;

while (my $line = <>)
{
  chomp $line; 
  delete $hash{$line} if exists $hash{$line}; # The if exists isn't re
+quired here, but it does make it look cleaner
}

my @good_words = grep { exists $hash{$_} } @words; # Keep the original
+ order
my @good_words_2 = keys %hash; # Don't care about the original order

Or, if borth word lists are sorted, something like this might work: 

my $index = 0;
LINE: while (my $line = <>)
{
  chomp $line;
  
  # While the word in the dictionary is past (or equal) to the word to
+ check
  while ($line ge $words[$index])
  {
    # Store the word as OK, unless it is equal to the current dict wor
+d
    push @good_words, $words[$index] unless $line eq $words[$index];

    # Use the next word from the list of words to check, if any
    last LINE if ++$index == @words;
  }
}
