in thread expanding the functionality of split

Not sure all the extra effort for the limit parameter is worth it. <update>Sorry, brainblock. Must get some coffeine.</update>
my @delim = qw(: :: / // \| \|\| \s+); mySplit \@delim, $str1; mySplit \@delim, $str2, 4;
is the same as
my @delim = qw(: :: / / \| \|\| \s+); mySplit \@delim, $str1; mySplit [ @delim[0..2] ], $str2;

Makeshifts last the longest.

    Sorry? I'm not quite sure what you mean? The only reference/effort I made to the limit parameter was to pass it onto the standard split command if the first parm wasn't an array. Beyond that I ignore it?


    Okay you lot, get your wings on the left, halos on the right. It's one size fits all, and "No!", you can't have a different color.
    Pick up your cloud down the end and "Yes" if you get allocated a grey one they are a bit damp under foot, but someone has to get them.
    Get used to the wings fast cos its an 8 hour day...unless the Govenor calls for a cyclone or hurricane, in which case 16 hour shifts are mandatory.
    Just be grateful that you arrived just as the tornado season finished. Them buggers are real work.
