in thread Make string that results from split behave like double-quoted string

I would imagine it would be more efficient to do the substitution before the split.

No needless iterating then.

Something like this:

while (<DATA>) { chomp; s/\\n/\n/g; ## Avoiding $_ is sometimes my @ar = split /\|/; ## even more fun than using warn Dumper @ar; ## it. ;P }

    ++ regarding the substitution before the split.

    Regarding use of $_, I do tend to avoid that myself, however it can make some examples more clear. Notice I left it out of the chomp and another example in the edit.
