Re^4: using split

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.

Yes. I never use `"..."`, preferring `m[...]` instead. Using `'...'` for a regex is simply shorthand for `m'...'` which gives the same, non-interpolating behaviour. A bad habit? Maybe...
