Beloved Monks,

Any ideas why my code below doesn't split the email addresses into lines of 1 address per line, each in single quotes? 

while (split(/[, ]+/, <DATA>))
{
  chomp;
  print "'$_'\n";
}

__DATA__
me@here.com
those@there.com  others@there.com
you@there.com,them@there.com

[download]
I'm getting this output: 
''
''
''

[download]
But I was wanting/expecting this output: 
'me@here.com'
'you@there.com'
'them@there.com'
'those@there.com'
'others@there.com'

[download]
How can it be changed to generate my expected output?

If someone has a completely different approach, I'm open to it, but I'd like to understand what I'm doing wrong, too, please.

Note: The real code will have the email addresses in a separate file, but I've put them under __DATA__ here for convenience.

Thanks.
