Hi monks! I'm writing a script that uses snmpget to retrieve values via MIBs. One of my return values comes back as: "String: "00.55.55.00"" (without the outer quotes of course). I then proceed to strip the unnecessary characters with: 
$dsfe_mask =~ s/\n|STRING: //g;
        
        $dsfe_mask =~ s/"+//g;
         
        $dsfe_mask =~ s/\D+//g;

this leaves me with the value 00555500. I need to split all these characters/numbers into seperate variables or into a list. I tried doing:  @list = split(//,$dsfe_mask); but it doesn't work... Is there a way to do this? This value is a hexadecimal mask that will eventually tell me which test cases I need to be testing for (thats an over simplification but I don't think you need to know exactly what I'm doing to be able to help me)
