One of the most valuable things I learned from perlmonks is to always test my assumptions. Before posting a response to a question I always run the example code that I am providing and verify that it works the way I anticipate. The reply I provided above demonstrates that the perl parser sees the two statements as equivalent. Here is an example that proves the behaviour: `> perl -le "print for @cols = split('\|', 'ab\|c');" a b \| c` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

What would you have in mind if you knew from split that the first argument is `/PATTERN/`? :-) Open source softwares? Share and enjoy. Make profit from them if you can. Yet, share and enjoy!	[reply] [d/l]
