Re^2: The maybe it is better written this way tool

On the same note, split '...' is more readable as split /.../, since the first arg of split is a regex pattern. (split ' ' excepted, of course.) We often get questions about split '|'.

I don't understand, don't you mean it the other way round? IMHO since /.../ clearly shows that it's a regex it should better always be written like that. '...' misleadingly looks like a simple string. Cheers Rolf	[reply]
