Here are two scripts, the only difference is the marker I am splitting by. I really expect the output from the two scripts to be the same. Why is the output different?
perl -e '@NEW = split(".", "1.2.3"); print "x", $NEW[1], "x\n"; ' Outputs xx perl -e '@NEW = split("_", "1_2_3"); print "x", $NEW[1], "x\n"; ' Outputs x2x Can't I use a period to mark fields in perl?
