I am using the following example from Lingua::StopWords:

use Lingua::StopWords qw( getStopWords );
my $stopwords = getStopWords('en');

my @words = qw( i am the walrus goo goo g'joob );

# prints "walrus goo goo g'joob"
print join ' ', grep { !$stopwords->{$_} } @words;

How do I get it to use my $document, remove stopwords and print the results to a file? See my code here:

open(FILESOURCE, "sample.txt") or die("Unable to open requested file."
+);
my $document = <FILESOURCE>;
close (FILESOURCE);

open(TEST, "results_stopwords.txt") or die("Unable to open requested f
+ile.");

use Lingua::StopWords qw( getStopWords );
my $stopwords = getStopWords('en');

print join ' ', grep { !$stopwords->{$_} } $document;

[download]

I tried these variations:

print join ' ', grep { !$stopwords->{$_} } TEST;

print TEST join ' ', grep { !$stopwords->{$_} } @words;

Basically, how do I read in a document, remove the stop words and then write the result to a new file?
