Can someone please explain what is happening here? I'm wondering why a solution like this isn't mentioned in this thread - $w =~ s/^aeiou/-/g;

They're not talking about "masking away" characters from a given character set in a single string. They're talking about masking multiple strings together in order find out which characters those strings have in common. Hence:


  southern
- yourself
----------
  -ou--e--

(where - (minus) is the masking operation.)
