The code is included below:

foreach my $word (@words) 
{ 
    chomp($word); 
    
    foreach my $posWord (@positiveWords) 
    { 
        chomp($posWord); 
  
        if ( lc($word) eq $posWord) 
        { 
            $numPosWords++; 
            last; 
        } 
    } 

    foreach my $negWord (@negativeWords) 
    { 
        chomp($negWord); 
   
        if ( lc($word) eq $negWord) 
        { 
            $numNegWords++; 
            last; 
        } 
    } 
}

The input files are lists of words, one word on each line. For example, the list of positive words would be:

good

excellent

outstanding

The text file is a movie review file, written in paragraph form, and I have to find positive and negative words by comparing each word in the text file to the positive/negative lists.
