in thread reading from a file and splitting

Since the use of these three variables causes such a huge program-wide performance hit, I would definately shy away from using them in a situation like this where split is so ideal.



Code is (almost) always untested.

    thank you, this is what i ended up with: 
    open (file, "<file.txt");
  @file = <file>;
  close (file);
  foreach $line(@file){
   ($var1, $var2) = split(/\=\=/, $line);
   if($chat =~ /\b$var1\b/i){  #the item i was looking for
    print "$var2";
   }
