Gentlemen, thank you very much for your assistance on this and my apologies for not getting back sooner--life and 4 kids (one of them brand new) gets in the way sometimes.
John, your solution worked very well for me. I replaced $wordlist with a hash that is one-up numbered to show the global frequency of the word (from a different project, not mine) as compared to the frequency within the files I am checking. Ronald, I did my best to get the regex to work with the language I am surveying (Urdu) but could not find the correct unicode range. I tried x{0600-06FF} as well as x{Arabic} and {InArabic}, but no dice. All of the glyphs and graphemes come from Arabic, maybe I am just not working the regex correctly-->a very good possibility. Robert, the database is being worked on now... :-) This project is to help fix some immediate issues, the database will be to replace some of the legacy systems that need to be shown the door. François, thanks for that link--good stuff on there. I have not poked around on the 'net for any Perl stuff in awhile now, will have to spend some time on that one!
