There is no difference in the two lines you listed. `perl -MO=Deparse -e "split('\|', 'ab\|c');" split(/\|/, 'ab\|c', 0); -e syntax OK` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

There is one subtle difference between using '...' and /.../ as regex delimiters. The latter interpolates where the former does not. That does not affect the examples in this thread though. Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice. "Too many [] have been sedated by an oppressive environment of political correctness and risk aversion."	[reply]

And the difference between `"..."` and `/.../` is that `"..."` unescapes too much. For example, `"\d"` is the same as `/d/`. If you want `/\d/`, the equivalent would be `"\\d"`. I always use `/.../` or `qr/.../` to avoid confusion.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
