in reply to SPLIT()ing headache

This:

$tparse=split(/-/,$current);

Should be:

@tparse=split(/-/,$current);

Since, in the line after the split, you are trying to access $tparse['2'], it's clear that you meant to split to an array. You attempted to split to a scalar. When you're done, $tparse will be a scalar set to the number of items that the split produced.
