in reply to splitting an array element

When I think of fixed-length fields, I always think of unpack: 
my $data = '19600326';

print join('-', unpack('A4A2A2', $data));

[download]
or 
my $data = '19600326';

printf ('%s-%s-%s', unpack('A4A2A2', $data));

[download]

Update: Ack! Zaxo beat me to it by a couple of minutes. :-)
