in thread small change to Text::ParseWords - evil consequences?

Maybe I'm not understanding your problem, but wouldn't a split(/\t+/, $line) get the tab-delimited fields?

    Using \t+ as the delimiter regex wouldn't work for him because he wants to see null fields. That is, if he's got "a\tb\t\td" he wants to split it into ('a','b','','d').

    I think that the original issue he was having was something different.
