in reply to lists of strings

Don't use quotes and qw together (qw == 'quote words', meaning that whitespace acts as quotes for you). Take off the qw from the front of your list and it should be fine.

Update: of course, you need to add commas between the quoted items, just like you would with a normal list. (Sorry for not pointing that out earlier.)

    If you remove the qw, you also need commas to separate the words...eg @words = ('campus field', 'football', etc...)
