G'day chickenlips,
Here's a solution using index and splice. (Obviously, you'll need to use your code to generate the random word - I've just allowed entering it from the command line for testing purposes.)
$ perl -Mstrict -Mwarnings -E '
print q{Random word: };
RAND: while (my $randword = <>) {
chomp $randword;
say "Input words using only letters in: $randword";
INPUT: while (my $inword = <>) {
chomp $inword;
my @randchars = split q{} => $randword;
my $char_count = 0;
CHAR: for my $in_char (split q{}, $inword) {
++$char_count;
my $pos = index join(q{} => @randchars), $in_char;
if ($pos >= 0) {
splice @randchars, $pos, 1;
}
else {
say "Failed on char: $in_char (at position $char_count
+)";
next INPUT;
}
}
say "$inword OK";
}
print q{Random word: };
}
print "\n";
'
Here's a sample run:
Random word: qqwe
Input words using only letters in: qqwe
ew
ew OK
ewq
ewq OK
ewqq
ewqq OK
qewq
qewq OK
qqewq
Failed on char: q (at position 5)
qqqwe
Failed on char: q (at position 3)
Random word: aaaabcde
Input words using only letters in: aaaabcde
qwe
Failed on char: q (at position 1)
asd
Failed on char: s (at position 2)
abcdef
Failed on char: f (at position 6)
abcde
abcde OK
aaaab
aaaab OK
aaaaab
Failed on char: a (at position 5)
Random word: ^D

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).
