I wouldn't use search and replace to detect the stop word, it's doing much more work than you need and is going to get really slow as your stop word list increases.
If you store your words in a hash then it's easy and efficient to test if a word exists in the hash, so then you can do something like this -- err not tested :)
my @words = qw/ and or not one two three/;
my %stop;
$stop{$_}++ for @words;
...
for my $w (split /\s+/, $line) {
next unless length($w) > 2;
next if $stop{$w};
...
$keys{$w}++;
}

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).
