this is equivalent to:
my @tokens = split(' ','apples trucks');
$array[0] = scalar @tokens;
Thus you get 2 which is the size of the array returned by split, which you
are not retaining by any means. What you want to do is this:
@{$array[0]} = split(' ','apples trucks');
which will correctly treat the first element of @array as a reference to
another array and fill it with whatever list data split provided.
Hope this helps
