in reply to Code that feels good

Having just convinced a co-worker that:
print join('^',split(/\s+/,$_)),"\n";
was much nicer than
my ($field1,$field2,$field3) = split(/\s+/,$_);
print "$field1^$field2^$field3\n";
I can say that code can feel good. ----

    print join('^', /\S+/g), $/

    ... feels even better :-)
