in reply to RegExp quick question

Me again. I'm having more trouble... so I'll explain my question again more clearly as well. I'm trying to remove periods from words like this: Foo. -> Foo Foo.Bar. -> Foo.Bar Another question: Why would split return "1" as a result?

    Are you only trying to remove periods from the ends of words, then? Try this: 
    $word =~ s/\.$//;
