in reply to regex to split a line

Hi.

That looks like a tab to be so this is pretty easy. 

# assuming @users contains your records of the text file
my $userinfo;

foreach my $user (@users)
{
   my ($first, $last) = split(/\t/, $user);
   $userinfo{$first} = $last;
}

This is how I'd do this, assuming the username is tab delimited.
