[MacPerl] Can someone help put bells and whisles?

[star@sonic.net (arthur)]

Hi,

I am new to programming, perl is my first language. I see the potential!
 and I thought, hmmmm, "We have the technology! --I should be able to help
people with Perl".

I teach at a Juvenile Detention Center where they have Macs (which is what
I use) so again I thought (not so long), "hmm", that game hangman would get
these kids interested in words, but we have to make it positive.  Instead
of being hung for wrong letters getting released from jail for correct
spelling!

I put a message up on a Perl Newsgroup for hangman thinking I could convert
it to "Freeman" but the conversion was hard. However the man David Allan
Black from Seton University in New Jersy came to my rescue. First with
hangman and then we converted it to "Freeman".

 I put the program up on the web at
http://www.sonic.net/~star/freeman3.html could you perl pro's check it out
You may want to check the source (It will run if you take out  the '<p>'. I
brought the game to the Juvenile hall today and I saw that it picks the
same random word over and over. What code would I need so the word is taken
out of the array if it was picked in that game already.
