hi i am trying to remove the stopwords from a text . e.g text : "Depending on the CD writing software you use, you will be looking for a .IMG file or a .ISO file. If you don't see the file and are browsing the correct folder, try one of". The text is saved in a file whose path i give from command line. i wrote this code. 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;

my (@data,$word,@lessWords,%stopwords,$stop);

open( LIST, "stopwords.txt" ) or die "$!";
my @stopwords = <LIST>;  
close LIST;
chomp @stopwords;

$/="";  
while(<>)
{
    push @data, $_;

}

foreach $word (@data) 
{ 
   foreach $stop (@stopwords) 
   { 
      next if $word eq $stop;
   }

   push(@lessWords, $word);
}

print "@lessWords\n";
