[Purdue-pm] Perl Weekly

[Mark Senn]

The following articles were in this week's
_Perl Weekly_.  See
http://perlweekly.com/archive/18.html
I recommend the _Perl Weekly_.  It's once a week,
usually pretty short and has interesting articles.
The following articles were in this weeks issue.

knew to look for information on the dog's collar
first but it wasn't there.)

Know split's special cases

Some handy details about three simple patterns using split.

For example
     @a = split ' ', '   hello world    ';
     print scalar @a;
prints "2".
