split() skipping trailing delimiters

[DZ-Jay]

Hello:
	I have a problem using the split() function:  When there are trailing 
delimiters, without any content between them, split() skips them.  For 
example, this:

        my @foo = split(/,/, 'this,is,a,test,,');

yields:
        this
        is
        a
        test

while I'm expecting:
        this
        is
        a
        test
        ''
        ''

Is there any way around this? I need to split strings on a specific 
delimiter and detect all null fields within the string, including 
trailing ones.

        Thanks in advance!
        dZ.
