I use this before (split slice ) but it's working bit funny now..

can someone tell me why??

it looks like it's splitting on '' instead of /|/ as I have specified
below... ??

use strict;
use warnings;

my $array = q/hi|how|are|you|fine/;

my ($moe,$hae,$now) = (split(/|/,$array))[0,1,2];
print "$moe $hae $now\n";

[root@RLEE ~]# ./!$
././split_practice.pl
h i |

'|' is special in a regular expression and needs to be escaped.
