Fun concept. Those sorts of puzzles can be fun to implement.

Didn't the Zodiac Killer have a spell checker?

@signalWords=(
    "children","others","around","shall","about",
    "people","would","missed","police",
    "because","thing","there","could","rather",
    "light","school","vallejo","useing","triger",
    "howers","cerous","meannie","killed","victom",
    "speaking","lyeing","workers","afterlife",
    "zodiac","intersting","idenity","woeman",
    "untill"
);

How about:

@signal_words = qw/ 
    children others around  shall     about   people 
    would    missed police  because   thing   there 
    could    rather light   school    vallejo using 
    trigger  hovers curious meanie    killed  victim 
    speaking lying  workers  afterlife zodiac  interesting
    identity woman  until

I had to guess on hovers and curious.

Maybe you know something I don't. Is it a known fact that he wrote some of the words wonkily? (That's a new word, I think.)

:) Next get to work on the question that was answered by 42.

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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
