in reply to Is My Split Or My Pattern Bad?

Is it possible that split is generating an empty $message that would fall through "Error 4" ?

perl -e ' print "[$_]\n" for ( split /:/ => ":xxx" ) '     
[]     <== empty $message
[xxx]

    Well, the code was changed to "|" and it seems to work. Thank you!
