I like using qw because it doesn't do interpolation. But qw uses embedded whitespace as the word delimiters and I need it to use commas as the delimiters instead. However I am using qw on the import list, a la: 

use asdf qw( . . . );

By the time, I reference the list in the import sub, the list has already been splitted on the whitespace. In other words: 

 
package asdf;
require Exporter;
our @ISA = qw(Exporter);

sub import {

my $class = shift;

my @list = @_ if @_;  # @list contains the splitted string

Could I somehow use join to reunite the list and then re-split it on the commas? What other solutions could I use? By the way, qw is roughly equivalent to: 

 
split(' ', q/STRING/);
