You ARE skipping and... but you aren't actually DOING anything when you skip it. You load the WHOLE file into $input_file and match words and then skip, but you aren't removing the word from the file. You'd need a substitute s/// to REMOVE text, something like s/(\w[\w'-]*)/$ignore{lc $1} ? '' : $1/g though you'd probably be better off generating a regular expression that matches any words you want, rather than matching all words and comparing against a hash. There are modules out there to do that, I see Regexp::List, though I think there was another one...
That's assuming you just want to remove certain words not the whole line.
Edit Regexp::Assemble is the one I was trying to think of

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
