Re^2: Why doesn't this work?

Huh?... but the 2nd one worked. What did you do to your perl that it doesn't? I'm using this split:

 Splits the string EXPR into a list of strings and returns the
               list in list context, or the size of the list in scalar
               context.

Size of list in scalar context.

&& re: limit:

               If LIMIT is omitted (or, equivalently, zero), then it i
+s
               usually treated as if it were instead negative but with
+ the
               exception that trailing empty fields are stripped (empt
+y
               leading fields are always preserved);

What version of split are you using?

Ah, sorry - I don't know what I did wrong while testing this. The documentation is correct and neither the limit nor the forced list context are needed: `> perl -e "{$/=undef, $_=<>} my $count=split /\n/; print $count" \boot +.ini` [download] works just as well, and just as documented.	[reply] [d/l]
