Dear Monks

I need to split a string which more or less looks like 
AAA * BBB CCC * * "2000 01 00 00 00" "2004 01 00 00 00"
or
AAA * BBB "CCC DDD" * * "2000 01 00 00 00" *

The firt example should split into 
*
BBB
CCC
*
*
2000 01 00 00 00
2004 01 00 00 00

Note that the first value of the string is ommitted (not important value).
Here is my test code
#! /usr/bin/perl

use strict ;
use warnings ;


my $inp = 'AAA * BBB CCC * * "2000 01 00 00 00" "2004 01 00 00 00"' ;

my @r = $inp =~ /"([^"]*)"|\s+([^\s]*)(?:\s|$)/g ;

local $" = "\n"; 
print "@r";

Output:
Use of uninitialized value in join or string at ./t9.pl line 13.
...... 6 more lines like this .....

*

CCC

*
2000 01 00 00 00


"2004

00

00"

Not exactly what I had in mind. Any suggestions about what I'm doing wrong here ?

Thnx a lot
LuCa

UPDATE: thnx!! Result: @r = map { s/"//g; $_ }, $inp =~  /("[^"]*"|\S+)/g ;
