If you are just beginning to learn regexes, the negative look-behind examples given in the other posts here may feel a little challenging. Here's an approach that uses more basic regex functionality.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my @words = qw(COMA STORAMA HISTOROMA PUMA MELANOMA STOROMA);
for my $str ( @words ) {
if ($str =~ /OMA$/ and $str !~ /STOROMA$/ ) {
print "$str\n";
}
}
