I actually want to separate & get values in array for below example.1.74,1.75,test/document.txt

But its working fine when i run standalone but in my app some issue which i am not able to figure out. When i hard code $aa='1.74 --> 1.75'; then i can split. But under this code its not splitting, even backslash with (--\>) also tried but no help. I have used ref(\$aa) also its showing SCALAR. Not sure why i am not able to split $aa. can experts help me here.

$text='---------------
1.74 --> 1.75  :test/document.txt;

sub func {
    my ($text) = (@_);
    $text =~ s/[\s|\n]*//g;
    $text =~ s/^[---]+//;
    
        my ($aa,$cd)=split(/:/,$text);
        my ($values,$cf)= split(/-->/,$aa);
        print "$values,$cf\n";
