    Just a quick note while the subject has been bought up - a string passed to split is auto-magically converted into a regex, with the sole exception of providing a q{ } (a single space) as the pattern (see. the docs for more info on this behaviour). This ambiguity was raised on p5p recently and the discussion can be followed here.
