Can any one see the syntax error in this perl script?
#!/usr/bin/perl
$word ="/usr/share/dict/words";
if ($word
=~ /([^aeiou]*a[^aeiou]*e[^aeiou]*i[^aeiou]*o[^aeiou]*u[^aeiou]*)/)
{ print "$1\n"; }
I have the last question of my Family xmas quiz as how many words with
all the vowels in and in the order of a e i o u
I think this script will do it but I get a syntax error [kevin@kevinspc
devtest]$ perl -c aeiou.pl
syntax error at aeiou.pl line 6, near ");"
