Hi monks,
I wrote a code to find the word appeared in each line and column position.
Could you please simplify this code or better approach to write this code
my $word="test";
while(<DATA>) {
if(/\b($word)\b/) {
    @arr = split(/\s+/,$_);
    $col = "";
    $i=0;
    foreach $k (@arr) {
        if($k eq "$word") {
            $col.=($i+1)."\t";
        }
        $i++;
    }
    
    print "The word repeated in Line ".$.." and in column ".$col."\n";
}

}

__DATA__
