Re: Split with backslashes?

I would like to split up a string like this
        my $cd = $arguments;
        @dirs = split(///,$cd); #Split $cd when there occurs a backslash

but it doesn't seem to work. I guess /// must be rewritten in some way,
but how?

'/' is a FORWARD slash.  '\' is a BACK slash.  Here are two solutions to 
your problem:

  my @dirs = split /\//, $cd;  # splitting on forward slashes
  my @dirs = split '/', $cd;   # same thing, less ugly
