Re: A silly (I think) question

Sort of. You might want to be more specific about what you split on 
though...

#!perl -w
use strict;
my $line;
my @fields;
my $item;
$line = `ls`;
chomp $line;
@fields = split(/s/,$line);
foreach $item ( @fields ) {
   print "$item\n";
}

I've got an issue with a split function, or at least I THINK that's 
where I'm having the problem.
 
Given that $line is one line of output from a command in column 
format, I run the following:
 
$line = `some command`;
chomp $line;
@fields = split $line;
 
This should produce a list of strings from $line, right?
 
Any idea why I'd have an empty list when $line contains the expected 
data as verified from a print command?
 
Thanks in advance!
