Re: Being pretentious, and getting away with it.

A quick test of 5.6.1 build 628 using (did I do this correctly?):

for (split /(A)|B/, "1A2B3") {print "'$_' defined\n" if (defined);}
[download]

Produces same results as your 5.005_03 example? Your correction would revert to the 5.005_02 behavior with undef's coming through?

Is this a bug in split in the latest release?

I'm somewhat confused by this node as a newbie. (Please don't stone me!)

The bug has existed since 5.005_03. In the next version of Perl, it will be corrected. _____________________________________________________ Jeff `japhy` Pinyan: Perl, regex, and perl hacker. `s++=END;++y(;-P)}y js++=;shajsj<++y(p-q)}?print:??;`	[reply]
