I'm in the process of writing a rather complex parser script to parse

To make a long story short (to late), I have a mysql table with two
columns; start and end dynamic content. "Start" marks the beginning of
data specific to this host, and "end", it's opposite.
my $splito=$dynparsparts[0];
my $splitt=$dynparsparts[1];
my @parts=split(/$splito/,$problem);
The line above fails halfway through with the following error:
Quantifier follows nothing in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/* <-- HERE
seems* to be / at ./import-nessus-scan.pl line 116.
This means $splito (the string you're using as a regex) is a malformed
pattern. If you don't want $splito to be interpreted AS a regex, you need
to quotemeta() it:
my $splito = quotemeta($dynparsparts[0]);
...
my @parts = split /$splito/, $problem;
or to keep $splito normal, you can just use \Q...\E in the regex:
my $splito = $dynparsparts[0];
...
my @parts = split /\Q$splito\E/, $problem;
