perldoc -f split
split /PATTERN/,EXPR,LIMIT
The first argument to split is a pattern and no matter what you use (with the
exception of ' ') as the first argument split will treat it like a pattern.
The same thing happens with the binding operator:
$string =~ '+';
$string =~ ( chr( 40 ) . pack( 'N*', 0x5065726C ) . chr( 41 ) );
