[ID 20000424.006] split() returning incorrect number of fields
Message ID:

This is a bug report for perl from adamm@lbri.lionbioscience.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.20 running under perl 5.00404.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]
In the following program, I contend that split() should return the same
number of fields in both cases:
my $str1 = "aaa:bbb:ccc:ddd:eee";
my $str2 = "aaa:bbb:ccc:ddd:";
my @w;
@w = split(/:/, $str1);
printf("scalar(\@w) = %d\n\n",scalar(@w));
@w = split(/:/, $str2);
printf("scalar(\@w) = %d\n",scalar(@w));
It doesn't. I'm pretty sure that this is neither the correct nor
expected behavior.
Thanx,
AdamM
