in thread Use of uninitialized value in concatenation

For the example like this
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; my %words = map { $_ => 1 } qw($Word $name); my $line = '$Word $ $1'; $line =~ s/(\$(\w+)?)/exists $words{$1} ? $1 : "dollar$2"/eg; print "$line\n\n";
It gives a warning message

      The "$testing" is replaced with "dollar" with the below code
      #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use warnings; my %words = map { $_ => 1 } qw($Word $name $test); my $line = '$Word $ $ $ $test $testing'; $line =~ s/(\$\w*)/exists $words{$1} ? $1 : " dollar "/eg; print "$line\n\n"
      The output which i need is if the values are not present in array, then $Word dollar dollar dollar $test dollartesting
        >perl -wMstrict -le "my %words = map { $_ => 1 } qw($Word $name $test); my $line = '$Word $ $ $ $test $testing'; $line =~ s/(\$(\w*))/exists $words{$1} ? $1 : qq{dollar$2}/eg; print $line; " $Word dollar dollar dollar $test dollartesting
