[oclug][OT] Quick Perl question

[Roger Messier]

Hi, I know this is OT, but I've searched the web and
couldn't find an answer.

I'm new to Perl, and I'm having trouble with a
regular expression.  I basically want to match a
word, so I currently have /\b[a-zA-Z]\b/.  The
problem is that I want to match any word boundary
*except* a hyphen, so that something like 'hello-'
or '-hello' would not match.  The current version
matches because the \b matches on the hyphen.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks.
