in thread using split

Well spotted. If I had any ++ left, you'd have got one:)

The OP should have picked this up himself. I was surprised to see that it generates a warning without strict or warnings:

#!/usr/bin/perl

my $x;

if ( $x = 4 ) {
    print "Hi";
}
#output
Found = in conditional, should be == at /home/pm line 5.
Hi

    That's one of default warnings, known as mandatory warnings before use warnings; was introduced. These warnings will be enabled by default, but can be controlled with -X switch or warnings. So the following code will issue a warning as you mention: 
    perl -e 'my $x; if ($x = 1) {}'

    But this code won't: 
    perl -Xe 'my $x; if ($x = 1) {}'

    Neither these snippets: 
    # disable all warnings
no warnings;
my $x;
if ($x = 1) {}

# disable only warnings regarding syntax
no warnings 'syntax';
my $x;
if ($x = 1) {}
