So I am not the only one with a use for split() in scalar context. So can we please eliminate the annoying warning Use of implicit split to @_ is deprecated that it generates (when you enable warnings, which Tom didn't)? Why it ever split to @_ I don't know and don't want to, but this has been deprecated roughly forever and surely it is time to move to the post-deprecation phase of removal. -- Peter Scott http://www.perlmedic.com/ http://www.perldebugged.com/Thread Next
