Hi,
I have found a bug in the perl split command. the following code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
$data=<stdin>;
@inputarray = split(/|/, $data);
print "@inputarray[0] @inputarray[1]";

when you enter: "45|35" #ignore quotes. applys to any numbers or split on any item
it returns "4 5"
not "45 35"

would be interested in hearing back from you,
Thanks,
Sean

Since "|" is a special character, escape it and try. It doesn't look like a bug.

Thanks,
Kuldeep
