This didn't modify the list.

I didn't mean to modify $list; the new content is in @terms. If you
want $list to contain the new words, you can use something like this at
the end of the program.

$list = join "\n", @terms;

Maybe the reason is the $prev definition.

$prev has no direct importance here, it's only required that it should
not be present in @terms, because it is used to delete double entries
from @terms.

s/(\.|,|e|en|e,|en,|e\.|en\.)$// for @terms;
I also tried Dr. Ruud's regex but it would have to be rewritten for
each language.

That is correct, hence my thoughts about language files. My code is a
very brute algorithm - it only strips out the following from the end of
each line:

. , e en e en, e. en.

If you are planning to use this for different languages, you would
obviously need to modify those patterns each time.
