Hi,

I added another version, that split string that split with a smaller last chunk. Added also a /o, to improve performace (that can be used if you have several lines to split.

Added this to the benchmark: 

'regex' => sub
{
     my @arr = $string =~ /(........)/g;
},

'regexo' => sub
{
     my @arr = $string =~ /(.{1,8})/og;
},
