binkzz follow up question

hi
u helped me with

http://www.experts-exchange.com/jsp/qShow.jsp?ta=perl&qid=10313986

i asked for two versions where a word on either the
right or left was matched and shown

this time could u show 5 charcters to the left of the word
and 5 characters to the right of the word?

so if text is
"this is a test that i will test out now for a test run."
and wrd is "test"
i will get
is a test that
will test out
or a test run.

(note 5 characters are displayed on each side of the matched word

thanks

#! /usr/bin/perl

$test = "this is a test that i will test out now for a test run.";
$word = "test";

my $templine = $test;

while ($templine =~ m/(.....)$word(.....)/is)
{
$templine =~ s/(.....)$word(.....)//is;

print "$1$word$2\n";
}
