Try

perl -MO=Deparse -e "while (1){@X=split/:/,'1::',-1}"

Crashes perl on my W2K and my NT sp6 boxes! Windows tells me an error log is being created, but no log is created.

Update:

Wed 04/17/2002 18:43:53.45
C:\>perl -MO=Deparse -e "@X=split /:/,'1::'"
[download]

Take away the loop, still crashes.

Wed 04/17/2002 18:43:43.28
C:\>perl -MO=Deparse -e "@X=split /p/,'1pp'"
[download]

s/:/p/, still crashes. Take away the @X, works fine.
