Re^3: Leading empty array elements after splitting

What version of Perl are you using (perl -v)?

On both 5.20.3 and 5.24.0, this code produces the following warning:

perl -wMstrict -E 'my @test = split((/\D/g), "x4d77");'

Use of /g modifier is meaningless in split at -e line 1.

Use of /g modifier is meaningless in split at -e line 1. 5.025002 Warning is provided now - however using /g within the script itself despite the use of strict + warnings provides no message.	[reply]
