in reply to split problem

I can confirm the behavior for ActiveState perl 5.22.1 and ActiveState perl 5.24.0, and verify I don't see the problem with ActiveState perl 5.20.1. Can anyone check in Strawberry or under *nix?

    Breaks on 5.24 on Linux Mint (ie. I see the same behaviour as the OP).

    update: It works on 5.10.1 and 5.20.3, and breaks on 5.22.2 and 5.24.0 (Linux Mint still).

    update 2: It works fine on all versions if the trailing tabs are removed from the string being split...

    Breaks also in perl 5.25.5 (x86_64-linux-thread-multi, CentOS 6.8).
