split() has a third argument which specifies the maximum number of
pieces to split the string into. So:
($first, $rest) = split /:/, $_, 2;
will do what you want.

Subject: split question
Hi, I want split a list in two parts from the same delimiter character.
Here is the list [sample1:sample2:sample3:sample4:sample5]
I would like a $variable containing sample1 and another one containing
the rest.
I search a lot on Internet and find how to split this in many variable
($x,$y)=split(/:/) but this is not useful for me.
Does anyone can help?
