Use of uninitialized value in split

Depending on the input data (if inconsistent)
this might happen but doesnt't do any harm
to the whole thing

In order to sanitize the stuff, one has to check
for the existence of the second split field after
the ':'
Just by substitution of (split...)[1] with (split ...)[-1]
a workaroud is found
%cp_samp = map{ (split ':')[0],  [split ',', (split ':')[-1] ] }@ex_array;
(corrected, see below ... sorry)

or even

%cp_samp = map{ (split /:/)[0], [split /,/,  ( (split /:/)[1] || '')] }@ex_array;

But this is sth. I'd like the OP to have figured out ...

M.
