I'm not sure why you would want to split on word or non-word characters (`[\w\|\W]`) instead of on an empty string: `$ perl -e 'print "$_\n" for split "", "foo"' f o o` [download] But, as GrandFather already pointed out, if you think you want to process a string character-by-character in Perl, then the odds are pretty good that you're doing it wrong.

You're mixing two concepts together. When you said `split /[\w\|\W]/` [download] you meant `split /[\w\W]/` [download] or `split /\w\|\W/` [download] The above would be better written as `split /./s` [download] That said, it doesn't work. If you want to separate every character, the characters aren't the separators, the nothings between each character are. You want: `split //, $x` [download] The following would also do: `$x =~ /./sg` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
