Hi barrycarlyon,

You're not really doing a split here.  You're assigning variables to the results from a regular expression match.

Note a couple of things:

  1. You should change =- to =~ (the regular expression binding operator (thanks jwkrahn, below!))
  2. You shouldn't be capturing the values (10) and (8).  My guess is that you either meant "10" and "8" (without the parentheses), or (more likely) "{10}" and "{8}", to mean 10 digits and 8 digits respectively.
s''(q.S:$/9=(T1';s;(..)(..);$..=substr+crypt($1,$2),2,3;eg;print$..$/
