edit:shemp is absolutely correct... I didn't know you could do that. It is probably the best way to pull off what you want

your questions isn't 100% clear, but I think I understand your intentions

IHMO, the only way that making a package would be sensible, is if you were going to be using the same keyword list in multiple scripts, and there are a large amount of keywords

doing the following:

#package file
package myKeywords;

@list_of_words = qw(my list of words);
[download]

#User script
use myKeywords;

map {print $_ ."\n"} @myKeywords::list_of_words;
[download]

Would probably produce the result you wanted(minus your text processing)
To make a package(very rough pls no flames)

name your package with the .pm extension

Secondly.You will need a makefile.

    use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
    WriteMakefile('NAME'      => 'myKeywords');
[download]

may do the trick for the simple package above.

You then need to run make/nmake from the same directory that your .pm file is in
```
perl makefile.pl
make
make test
[download]
```
..if your "make test" command is successful
```
make install
[download]
```
