in thread What's the best way to do a pattern search like this?
You just need to adjust the regex a little.
my @array_codes = split /\s+/, <FILE>;
assumes that you're interested in all non-whitespace characters. Changing it to:
my @array_codes = split /\W+/, <FILE>;
means that your're only interested in non-word characters (where word chars are A-Z, 0-9 and '-').
