Wow, your %scores isn't defined correctly at all.
# perl -l
my %scores = (
map { $_ => 1 } qw( A E I L N O R S T U ),
map { $_ => 2 } qw( B D G ),
map { $_ => 3 } qw( C M P ),
map { $_ => 4 } qw( F H V W Y ),
map { $_ => 5 } qw( K ),
map { $_ => 8 } qw( J X ),
map { $_ => 10 } qw( Q Z ),
);
print "$_ => $scores{$_}" for keys %scores;
__END__
S => 1
T => 1
N => 1
K => 1
Y => 1
2 => 1
E => 1
Z => 1
J => 1
W => 1
B => 1
H => 1
D => 1
I => 1
10 => 1
G => 1
U => 1
F => 1
V => 1
Q => 1
M => 1
C => 1
L => 1
A => 1
O => 1
3 => 1
X => 1
P => 1
8 => 1
4 => 1
R => 1
5 => 1
Perhaps this is a good time for parentheses?
my %scores = (
map( { $_ => 1 } qw( A E I L N O R S T U ) ),
map( { $_ => 2 } qw( B D G ) ),
map( { $_ => 3 } qw( C M P ) ),
map( { $_ => 4 } qw( F H V W Y ) ),
map( { $_ => 5 } qw( K ) ),
map( { $_ => 8 } qw( J X ) ),
map( { $_ => 10 } qw( Q Z ) ),
);
print "$_ => $scores{$_}" for keys %scores;
__END__

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).
