You should use /q(?!u)/i instead.

But that wasn't your problem: there were no words ending in q that could
be made from the test data.

I will post the test data later.  Your first entry was averagly bad at
finding words.  Your second entry was much more puzzling: it found all
but 1 word in each test.  I would be interested in why this happened,
but I haven't looked.

An additional problem was that one of your entries used Data::Denter but
didn't actually need to; and Data::Denter wasn't installed.
