Dear Monks I have my code as below which does not give me the values of $value :

  use WordNet::QueryData;
  use WordNet::Similarity::path;
  use strict;

  my $wn = WordNet::QueryData->new;

  my $measure = WordNet::Similarity::path->new ($wn);

my $Infile1 = shift;
my $Infile2 = shift;

open (INPUT, "$Infile1") || die "can't open the input file1";
chomp (my @words1 = <INPUT>);
close (INPUT) ;

open (INPUT, "$Infile2") || die "can't open the input file2";
chomp (my @words2 = <INPUT>);
close (INPUT) ;

for my $i (0 .. $#words1) {
if ($words1[$i] =~ /\#n$/){
    for my $j ( 0 .. $#words2) {
         if ($words2[$j] =~ /\#n$/){
             my $value = $measure->getRelatedness("$words1[$i]#1", "$w
+ords2[$j]#1");
 
  print "similarity of $words1[$i] and $words2[$j] = $value\n";}
}}}

while when I use the word itself in code as below:

$measure->getRelatedness("cat#n#1", "dog#n#1");

I simply reach the output. my input is as below:

July#n
Macdonough#n
patrol#v
water#n
Guam#n
protect#v
assault#n
craft#n
enemy#n
submarine#n
continue#v
role#n
depart#v
Hawaii#n
August#n
day#n
Pearl#n
Harbor#n
depart#v
Admiralty#n
Islands#n

how shall I modify my code to get the value while using the $words1$i variable? note that my code get the input and give this as output :

similarity of July#n and Macdonough#n = 
similarity of July#n and Hawaii#n = 
similarity of July#n and August#n = 
similarity of Macdonough#n and Macdonough#n =

Thanks in advance.
