Perl Remove stop words



Hi,

I have a file that contains all the stop words that I want to eliminate from my data (text).

I dont know how to use this file so I have made an array and stored all the stop words of the file in my stop word array.

To remove the stop words I do something like this :

grep { $scalarText =~ s/\b\Q$_\E\b/ /g } @stopList;

This takes a long time to execute. I was wondering if someone knows how to use the file in my perl program to remove the stop words ? Or if there is any faster way to remove the stop words ?

Thanks
