Hi. How do i use words excepstions list (like [^qwe|asd]) -- similar to characters' one ([^ghjk])? -- I try to write a script, that would exchange word parts, that contains sign '-', where these parts do not contain (exception) given lists? For example, in the code below 
$z='Web-developer, perl-program, explicit-element, function-call, 2-x 
+speed.';

print "|$z|\n---\n";

$vrm='(?^ui:(\W)([^(\d|web)]+)-([^(proramm|call)]+))    "1>$1<3>$3< 2>
+$2<"';

@bz=split "\t", $vrm;

for( $i=0; $i<$#bz; $i+=2 ){
    while( $z=~s#$bz[$i]#$bz[$i+1]#g ){
        print "|$z|\n";
#        <STDIN>;
    }
}

i want that each part in the 2-word combination, except 'explicit-element', will remain the same, and only 'explicit-element' be turned to 'element explicit' -- because their parts are listed in lists: 'Web-developer' remains the same because its first part 'Web' is in the regular expression, before the sign '-', same for '2-x', whereas 'perl-program' and 'function-call' second parts ('program' and 'call') are listed in the regular expression after sign '-'.

So, what to do in PERL w/ the exception list for words? Thank you for any advance.
