Thank you, wog, I was looking for code similar as your approach, but I failed to find any suitable solution. I've tweaked and wrapped the code a bit, just to run it under MacPerl. 
#!perl -w
use strict;

my $tmpdir = 'Disco:Carpeta_Idioma:';
my $file = "$tmpdir" . 'diccionario';
my $file_out = "$tmpdir" . 'diccionario2';

open(IN, "<$file") || die "Can't open $file: $!\n";
open(OUT, ">$file_out") || die "Can't open $file_out: $!\n";

while (<IN>) {
    print OUT unless    (   y/a//>3 | y/b//>1 |
                            y/c//>1 | y/d//>2 |
                            y/e//>8 | y/g//>1 |
                            y/i//>3 | y/j//>1 |
                            y/l//>2 | y/m//>3 |
                            y/n//>3 | y/o//>4 |
                            y/r//>3 | y/s//>6 |
                            y/t//>1 | y/u//>2 |
                            y/v//>2
                        )
}

close IN;
close OUT;

The code snippet looked nice indented on my Mac. Hope it looks fine here too. Best regards, Richard
