I know that is a VERY basic question, but I am working on it since this morning and it is driving me made. But since "the more time you spend on a problem, the more stupid is this problem", I realise the solution might be very simple.

Here is the code of my cgi script : 

#!usr/bin/perl
use CGI;
$res = "aaaaubbbbuooooo";
@rest = split /u/,$res;
$restLength = length(@rest);
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "restLength : $restLength";
for ($i=0;$i<length(@rest);$i++){
    print "@rest[$i]";
}

My browser print :
restLength : 1
aaaa

Why does it not print :
restLength : 3
aaaa
bbbb
ooooo

Why why why why ????

thx
