I'd like to suggest this bugfix. I downloaded ENABLE and unziped and all. But for some reason my perl (5.6.0 and 5.6.1 on Mandrake 8.0) wouldn't read that file properly. It kept cutting off the last character of the words. I'm a bit out of practice on my Perl, so I havn't deciphered the reason, but this fixed it for me.
By the way, thanks a ton for this program. I'm writing a short story spoof of Alice based on word ladders for a class, and I need this program to produce lots of ladders for me. At least, if my idea pans out. Perhaps if the story is any good, I'll put up a link, though it will have little to do with Perl. ;)
# This is around line 40
# Insert this where the second 'my @wordlist;' is declared.
my @wordlist;
while (<WORDS>) {
$_ =~ /(\w*)/;
$_ = $1;
push @wordlist, $_
if length $_ == length $word[0];
}
close (WORDS);

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).
