...we can provide a list too in split function.

Sorry, no. split operates on a single string (a scalar), but not on a list:

13:57 >perl -wE " $s = q[abc]; $t = q[mno]; say for split(//, $s, $t); + " Argument "mno" isn't numeric in split at -e line 1. a b c 14:06 >perl -wE " $s = q[abc]; $t = q[mno]; say for split(//, ($s, $t) +); " Useless use of a variable in void context at -e line 1. m n o 14:06 >perl -wE " @u = (q[abc], q[mno]); say for split(//, @u); " 2 14:06 >
The docs however mention EXPR ... which I assumed to be a scalar.

Yes, your original assumption was correct. But split returns a list, which is why the output of split can be the subject of a foreach or a map.

Hope that helps,

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
