Sigh. Read I know what I mean. Why don't you?. It has some hints for writing posts so that other people understand what you are asking and so that code you provide can be run by others with the least hassle and external dependencies.

Where are the code samples that generate the output you show?. Why can't I see the link to the tutorial you mention?

How often do you check the perlintro documentation when you have a problem? Something simple you can probably do at your command line is: perldoc -f <func name>. For example you could perldoc -f split to get split which would tell you that split works on an 'EXPR' (i.e. string in this case), not an array.
