Hello
I know "/" is a special character for regex, which should be escaped.
But if I put "/" in a variable and use the variable in regex, then it
doesn't need the explicit escape. Like this one:
$ perl -le '$delimiter="/"; $str="hello/world/buddy";
@list=split/$delimiter/,$str;print "@list"'
hello world buddy
Am I right? thank you.

John,
for my this code:
my $delimiter = '$';
my $str = 'hello$world$buddy';
my @li = split/$delimiter/,$str;
print "@li","\n";
How can I make it work correctly?
Thanks
