Hi, I am trying to get this script to find words with the letter 'P' in it (case insensitive so p or P) and then print out each word it finds in the file. I'm reading in from a text document.

I thought using the split function would be the best way to go. Here's my code so far:

#!usr/bin/env perl

use warnings;
use strict;

open my $test_fh, '<', @ARGV or die "Can not open file $!\n";
  while (<$test_fh>) {
    my @line = split ();
      # if ($line[1] =~ /\wP\w/i);
          print "$line[1]";
}

close ($test_fh);

The text I'm testing it with is this:

CPAN stands for comprehensive Perl Archive Network.
^ and $ are used as anchors in a regular expression.
/pattern/ is a pattern match operator.
Perl is very easy to learn.
Enter 'H' or 'h' for help.
[download]

It only prints out standsandisis'H' . Can someone point out my errors and what I should be doing?
