Noting is ever simple.
That would need modification to handle the case there the letters constituting
$word appear within another "word" that has more characters than $word.
while (<>) { /\W$word\W/ or print }
Is a start requiring that $word be surrounded by two non-word characters but
will fail when $word begins or ends a line.
There's also the problem that perl's definition of a word character includes
programming conventions, particularly the underscore.
BBEdit probably does a better job of understanding the OP's actual desires.
What if he actually wants to include hyphenated instances which include -\n ?
