or use (and IMHO better because it clearly designates it as a regex to the reader) the normal
//:
my ($one, $two) = split( /\d+\s+/, $line);
BUT.. you need the delimeter as $one .. so need to capture it:
my ($one, $two) = split( /(\d+\s+)/, $line);
BUT .. that will have the space in $one .. so use a look-behind (see
perlre) instead .. (and add the LIMIT)
my ($one, $two) = split /(?<=\d+)\s+/, $line, 2;
so to OP -- yes, it's possible w/split & regex ;)

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).
