I have a question about a nested loop I'm having trouble with. I'm reading in a list in the following format:


name1,a1,b1,c1,\n,name2,a2,b2,c2\n...etc.

What I'm trying to do is use a nested foreach loop to peel off the first four elements, then parse those four elements into four new arrays. Here is my code:

foreach(@array1) { 
  $list=split(/,/,@array1,4);
    foreach($list) { 
      (@w,@x,@y,@z)=split(/ /,$list,1);}
}

I get the error "Use of implicit split to @_ is deprecated at filename.pl." I thought I was assigning the first split to $list, not $_. Can someone point out where I'm going wrong? What I'm hoping to get is pull each name(x) from the array, and store to it's own array, each a(x) to it's own array, and so forth.
