Hi everyone!

I am having problems passing a $Scaler into a while() loop. Could someone people tell me what I am doing wrong? 

#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w 


use strict;

my @cut;
my $cut;



open (WORDS, 'data.txt')
  or die "Can't open employees2.txt: $!\n";

my @cols = qw('data.txt');

    while (my $line = <WORDS>) {
        chomp $line;
        my @words = split /\s+/, $line;
        $cut = pop(@words);
        chomp;
        next if !/a/;
        next if !/e/;
        next if !/i/;
        next if !/o/;
        next if !/u/;
        
        print $_ . "\n";
        }

    }

I want this program to print out a list of every word in the text file that has all five vowels.

Thank you for all help and advice!
