It also avoids the result, though. `my $s = 'a.b.c'; say "1: $_" for split /\./, $s; say "2: $_" for split '.', $s;` [download] ($q=q:Sq=~/;[c](.)(.)/;chr(-\|\|-\|5+lengthSq)`"S\|oS2"`map{chr \|+ord }map{substrSq`S_+\|`\|}3E\|-\|`7**2-3:)=~y+S\|`+$1,++print+eval$q,q,a, [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Apparently, the first argument to `split` is always treated as a regex, because `split '\.', $s` worked. The documentation implies a string and a regex are treated differently: (such as ' ' or "\x20" , but not e.g. / / ) Seems that, as luck would have it, I never happened to use a regex meta character `split 'x'`. In light of the described differences in handling of ' ' vs / /, the documentation should state that the first argument is always treated as a regex even supplied as a string.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

> the documentation should state that the first argument is always treated as a regex It does at the very beginning of split: `split /PATTERN/,EXPR,LIMIT split /PATTERN/,EXPR split /PATTERN/ split` [download] There are only three exceptions, space, empty regex, and `/^/` .
