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?

Thanx!

-Michael
