I've modified Douglas' code as following:

my %nostock;
while (<NOSTOCK>) {
s/,.*//;
$nostock{$_}= 1;
print;
}

while (<ORD>) {
my ($item) = (split(/,/))[4];
print  unless $nostock{$item};
}

but the output I got is:
PENFUZZY                                # it's in the hash

What am I doing wrong? Can somebody explain it me? TIA.
