I didn't know either of those things about split -- I am not a perl expert in
spite of working with it for SpamAssassin. The special case handling of ' ' in
split feels to me like about the weirdest perl feature I've come across yet,
and yes, I do know that perl has weird features.

And to top it off whatever I used to search through Conf.pm for how it was
being used missed the places do use split ' '. So I was wrong all around :-(

I assume that when parsing the option line the arguments string begins with the
non-whitespace after the initial keyword so there can be no leading whitespace
that would produce a null first field if you use split /\s+/ instead of
splitting on ' '. So it really doesn't make a difference either way.
