Monks, now i am doing a small tool, in that i need to split the string into two, i want to know among the two methods which is the best method, else is there any other best way to do this?

I come up with this question because in our community often there is a discussion regarding the performance. Often i use to see the nodes saying dont call the regex engine unnecessarily?

If there is some conclusion out of this i will follow that in the future.

method1:
$item = 'path/path1==new';
my ($epath, $relt) =  split /==/, $item;

[download]
method2:
$item = 'path/path1==new';
my ($epath, $relt) =  $item =~ /([^=]*)==(.*)/;

[download]

Please apologise if it is silly.

Regards,
Anniyan
