    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 ...etc. 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.
