I use a variable for a field delimiter when reading
CSV files... I have been wrestling with the best way
to code my split regex so that it works with all
possible values of that variable. 
 
It is currently failing when I set the value of the
variable to ^ 


# if delimiter is | - this syntax works fine

$del=|
(@fields) = split /[$del]/,$record;


# if delimiter is ^ - this syntax fails - no split
$del=^
(@fields) = split /[$del]/,$record;


What syntax will work for both (all) cases?

Thanks,

John
