Oh, you know, I just saw that. Hum, I wonder how I missed it. Anyway,
then I guess using this would do...
split /,/, $foo, -1;

Hi dZ,
According to documentation, the prototype of split has a third parameter:
split /PATTERN/, EXPR, LIMIT
If LIMIT is omitted in the function call, then "trailing null fields are stripped
from the result", as the Camel book states. I also stumbled onit a few times...

Betreff: split() skipping trailing delimiters
Hello:
I have a problem using the split() function: When there are trailing
delimiters, without any content between them, split() skips them. For
example, this:
my @foo = split(/,/, 'this,is,a,test,,');
yields:
this
is
a
test
while I'm expecting:
this
is
a
test
''
''
Is there any way around this? I need to split strings on a specific
delimiter and detect all null fields within the string, including
trailing ones.
Thanks in advance!
dZ.
