This is more a suggestion on functionality than a critique of code. One thing that I ran into with my boggle script is that the unix dict file doesn't have variants of words. For example, it has huge but not hugely, fish but not fishes or fishing, etc.
Ideally, you would have some kind of functionality to address this. One possibility is to stem words before you check them. I know that Lingua::Stem implements one popular algorithim to do this. I didn't look into it close enough to see if it would do the trick for me.

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).
