TIMTOWTDI: with index

#!/usr/bin/env perl 

use strict;
use warnings;
use Test::More tests => 5;

my @yesmatch = ('of', 'of the blue', 'the blue of', 'ending with of');
my @nomatch = ('out of blue');
my @stopwords = qw/a of the/;

for my $phrase (@yesmatch) {
    ok (stopped($phrase, \@stopwords), "$phrase stopped");
}

for my $phrase (@nomatch) {
    ok ((not stopped($phrase, \@stopwords)), "$phrase not stopped");
}

sub stopped {
    my ($phrase, $sw) = @_;
    my $rev;
    for my $word (@$sw) {
        return 1 unless index ($phrase, $word);
        $rev //= reverse $phrase;
        return 1 unless index ($rev, reverse $word);
    }
    return 0;

Note that "the blue of" starts with "the" and so doesn't really test the end-matching so I've added "ending with of" to the test patterns.
